  1. You need to change the heading font color shade in site styles. You edit the page and if using 7.1 template click on the paintbrush in the top right corner, choose colors, and then the button under "this page". Then click the text heading you want to change, the menu on the right will jump to the correct size and allow you to adjust the palette shade color there. 

    If you are using a 7.0 template, I would need to know which one, site style menus are different for each family of templates. 
     

  2. This may help you also, This letter is from Susana our Forum Admin at Squarespace. 

    Hi everyone, 

    I'd like to start by clarifying that when you transfer a domain to be hosted by Squarespace, this doesn’t automatically transfer your email hosting to Squarespace as well. Domain and email hosting are two different services. 

    If you already have a custom email address setup for your domain, you can keep it with the company through which you set this service up if you would like. While transferring your domain to Squarespace you were given the option to transfer your email account’s MX records (the records responsible for handling your email), which allow you to keep using the email service. However, you will need to make sure that you keep the email service active with your provider, so you can be able to keep using it. As a note, if you keep the email service with them, you’ll still manage your email account with your original provider.

    Before transferring your domain to Squarespace, we always recommend contacting your current email provider to ensure that there won’t be any restrictions or issues by moving to Squarespace. We also recommend backing up any essential emails, contacts, or settings you may need.

    There might be some downtime on your email during the transfer. Check this FAQ on our help center more specifics. 

    To stop using your email provider and move your email account to Squarespace, you can create a Google Workspace account that’s managed through your Squarespace site. This allows you to keep the same email address, but creates an entirely new account with new inboxes and billing managed by Squarespace. There are more details on this setup in this help article

    For any further questions you might have about this, feel free to reach to Squarespace Customer Support for personalized assistance. 

  3. 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. 

  4. 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. 
     

  5. 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;
    }

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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;
    }

  9. 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. 

  10. 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
