  1. You may find that the aspect ratio or spacing needs adjusting in the page section editor. Hit edit in the top left corner of the page then edit section in the pop-up on the right side. There are a lot of options there for layout, spacing, and aspect ratio of the blog items/featured images.
  2. As Justin posted, put three summary blocks on a page, each grabbing content from one particular blog. Set the blocks to filter featured content, set for one item each and when you create a new post in any of the blogs mark that post "featured" using the toggle and the summary block for that blog page will then update.
  3. Folders and links can be a bit finicky to change with CSS. The second bit of code I posted just might work for your folder background to be at 80 percent white along with box shadow which you can remove if you don't want that look. #topNav nav .folder-collection .subnav {border-radius: 0px 25px 30px 0px } #topNav nav .folder-collection .subnav { background: #F4F4F4 !important;box-shadow: 5px 5px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.8) } div.folder.active { text-decoration: underline !important; }
  4. It's not hard to have more than 20 posts per page. I have over 80 on one page grouped by subject. I used summary blocks on a second blog page, and it works quite well for any kind of post, including podcasts which I don't have. As seen here: https://myrandomviews.com/blogsummary
  5. How long ago did you activate the site and the domain? It takes time for an SSL certificate to activate and make its way through the web, up to 48 hours. You can check your SSL activation here: https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html
  6. Based on the screenshot, you have a dashboard which means you have a Squarespace account, but there is no site in it. Any existing sites, active or inactive, are listed on the left side of that window.
  7. If you still need help, there is a way to do this. Post a link to your site, let me take a look and I will get back to you.
  8. There is a built-in site styles option to make Avenue Index pages full width, but not for standard pages or blog pages. There may be CSS code to take care of that.
  9. It takes HTML and knowing what billing plan you are on to do this, but it can be done. Posting your site url will help get this started.
  10. Summary blocks allowing all posts to be on one page is the easiest way to go, and styling can be used to make it look pretty much like the blog page itself depending on what platform you are on 7.0 (and what template) or 7.1 (template doesn't matter.) I have all my posts on one page (I use a second blog page just for summary blocks) as seen here: https://myrandomviews.com/blogsummary I don't style it to look like my actual blog page https://myrandomviews.com/blog but I could if I wanted to.
  11. I moved the CSS to the home page header code injection and used a markdown block on one summary bloc page ( https://myrandomviews.com/blogsummary/iawl ) from site-wide code injection. I decided the snowflakes were a bit distracting when reading a blog post. The markdown block in a blog post also changes any page that has a summary item with content from that post as well as seen here: https://myrandomviews.com/blogsummary
  12. If you would like a bit of holiday snow on your site use the following code in code header injection under website tools. It will snow gently on every page as seen here: my random views <style> /* customizable snowflake styling */ .snowflake { color: #fff; font-size: 1em; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-shadow: 0 0 5px #000; } @-webkit-keyframes snowflakes-fall{0%{top:-10%}100%{top:100%}}@-webkit-keyframes snowflakes-shake{0%,100%{-webkit-transform:translateX(0);transform:translateX(0)}50%{-webkit-transform:translateX(80px);transform:translateX(80px)}}@keyframes snowflakes-fall{0%{top:-10%}100%{top:100%}}@keyframes snowflakes-shake{0%,100%{transform:translateX(0)}50%{transform:translateX(80px)}}.snowflake{position:fixed;top:-10%;z-index:9999;-webkit-user-select:none;-moz-user-select:none;-ms-user-select:none;user-select:none;cursor:default;-webkit-animation-name:snowflakes-fall,snowflakes-shake;-webkit-animation-duration:10s,3s;-webkit-animation-timing-function:linear,ease-in-out;-webkit-animation-iteration-count:infinite,infinite;-webkit-animation-play-state:running,running;animation-name:snowflakes-fall,snowflakes-shake;animation-duration:10s,3s;animation-timing-function:linear,ease-in-out;animation-iteration-count:infinite,infinite;animation-play-state:running,running}.snowflake:nth-of-type(0){left:1%;-webkit-animation-delay:0s,0s;animation-delay:0s,0s}.snowflake:nth-of-type(1){left:10%;-webkit-animation-delay:1s,1s;animation-delay:1s,1s}.snowflake:nth-of-type(2){left:20%;-webkit-animation-delay:6s,.5s;animation-delay:6s,.5s}.snowflake:nth-of-type(3){left:30%;-webkit-animation-delay:4s,2s;animation-delay:4s,2s}.snowflake:nth-of-type(4){left:40%;-webkit-animation-delay:2s,2s;animation-delay:2s,2s}.snowflake:nth-of-type(5){left:50%;-webkit-animation-delay:8s,3s;animation-delay:8s,3s}.snowflake:nth-of-type(6){left:60%;-webkit-animation-delay:6s,2s;animation-delay:6s,2s}.snowflake:nth-of-type(7){left:70%;-webkit-animation-delay:2.5s,1s;animation-delay:2.5s,1s}.snowflake:nth-of-type(8){left:80%;-webkit-animation-delay:1s,0s;animation-delay:1s,0s}.snowflake:nth-of-type(9){left:90%;-webkit-animation-delay:3s,1.5s;animation-delay:3s,1.5s}.snowflake:nth-of-type(10){left:25%;-webkit-animation-delay:2s,0s;animation-delay:2s,0s}.snowflake:nth-of-type(11){left:65%;-webkit-animation-delay:4s,2.5s;animation-delay:4s,2.5s} </style> <div class="snowflakes" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="snowflake"> ❅ </div> <div class="snowflake"> ❆ </div> <div class="snowflake"> ❅ </div> <div class="snowflake"> ❆ </div> <div class="snowflake"> ❅ </div> <div class="snowflake"> ❆ </div> <div class="snowflake"> ❅ </div> <div class="snowflake"> ❆ </div> <div class="snowflake"> ❅ </div> <div class="snowflake"> ❆ </div> <div class="snowflake"> ❅ </div> <div class="snowflake"> ❆ </div> </div>
  13. in 7.1 If the page you want is a project inside an index which is a portfolio page you can't move it out of the portfolio. If it is a page visible under pages in configuration you can drag it anywhere you want to in the linked or unlinked sections of your site, but you cannot add it to a portfolio page.
  14. Create a one-item blog summary block on a page, and set the block to filter featured posts. When you create a new post activate the feature toggle and it will update.
  15. I am not sure exactly what you want to do but I do have some suggestions. All your portfolio pages which I think are gallery pages can be added to a drop-down folder on the main nav bar like my photo lessons. Each of my lessons is a blog post and in addition, I created a post with a summary block that pulls content from the blog page filtered by the category "lesson" which I gave to each lesson post. That summary block post is the ALL LESSONS link in the pull-down menu. Avenue summary blocks also pull content from gallery pages. My questions are, if you want all your homepage work to be accessible from a drop-down menu, what will be your home page? What would it look like? Would you have one piece of artwork? Would you want a rotating image? How many links would be in your drop-down? Maybe you could consider using a landing page, which I have done, to introduce your work, and have links to your drop-down menus on that page or to a page with the menus there, which could be in an accordion folder instead of being on the main nav bar. I am willing to help with this if you wish. Derrick
  16. Take a look at my Avenue site and see if my drop-down folders are close to what you want. my random views
  17. They have not added FE to Blog pages because they care. It would mean a huge redesign of the blog page format and it will happen eventually just like there is now a migration path from 7.0 to 7.1. It just takes time to accomplish.
  18. Delete your browsing history including cookies, not your password manager, but you can check to see what password if any Chrome has stored for that page. go to Chrome settings and search for passwords or you can go to Google Password Manager and sign in with the same Chrome account. https://passwords.google.com/intro
  19. Easy, create a second blog page in the unlinked section of your site, and post all part 2s there. Create a button or link in part one of your original blog pages that links to the second part of your post in your second blog page.
  20. The only way that I know not to have the name "blog" show up in a URL is to rename the page to something else, like stories, which I did years ago but changed back to blog. I did that for SEO reasons.
  21. We are glad you are back, up and running with your very good-looking "old" Squarespace site! You can't go wrong here, especially using a Brine Template.
  22. Very nice site! I may copy the master bathroom when I add one to the upstairs of my new home. https://www.blackrocklodgestowe.com/
  23. We can help if you publish your website address here. I don't understand how the page is hidden if in the linked, main navigation, part of your site, unless the page is not enabled.
