  1. A Blog summary block will display an image along with an excerpt. You can use a page of blog summary blocks as your front-facing blog page and lay out the items (posts) with read-more buttons or links.  You can list them, make a grid, a wall, a carousel, and shape the items as well. You can add blocks to a second blog page and have a subject pull-down menu in your header or in a sidebar, with lots of options. If you choose to do this you move the actual blog, where the posts reside, into the unlinked section of your site. This works for any template. With Bedford, you would get that nice-looking banner at the top of the page if you used summary blocks on in a blog page, one post for each subject. Think about it. You can take a look at my blog, built using Avenue.

  2. Retrieving content depends on how long ago you canceled your site. 

    If your content doesn't appear, it may have been permanently deleted. If this happens, it's not recoverable.

    Reactivate your canceled or expired site

    Step 1 - Log in

    To reactivate the site:

    1. Go to your site's URL. Images and galleries may not appear correctly until you reactivate your site.
    2. A "Website expired" message should appear. Click Owner login, and log in with your email and password.

    Step 2 - Update your billing payment method (optional)

    If your site expired due to an outdated payment method, you'll need to update the payment method before reactivating your site. Then click Save before continuing to the next step.

    Step 3 - Select a billing plan and reactivate

    Choose a billing plan and resubscribe:

    1. Click Fix now in the banner in the bottom of your site.
    2. Select one of our current billing plans.
    3. Review the order summary. To change the payment method on file, click Edit in the Payment section and enter the new information.
    4. Review your subscription, then click Confirm and purchase.
    5. Restored content

      After reactivating your site, your content may appear as you last left it. It's appearance depends on how long the site has been canceled or expired. Content can take up to a few hours to repopulate on your site.

       

  3. The top link is built on a member of the 7.0 Brine Family, there are a lot of templates in the family and I can't identify the specific one out of forty it is. If I had to guess it is close to Clay or Foster. 

    The lower link as Ziggy said is built on a member of the York Family, there are five  templates in that family, there used to be six but Jones has been discontinued. I think it has been built on York or Jasper.

  4. Native is a 7.0 template, a single-member family actually. The blog page option is list only. Avenue, which I use, is also a 7.0, blog page and also list only. I "changed" that using Blog Summary Blocks in a second blog as my front-facing blog, as you can see here:

    The actual blog is in the unlinked section of my site, which looks like this:

    Take a look and if this design appeals to you (since our template blog pages are very much alike) I can give you help designing something similar in style and function.

    i have the same thing what are my options to change template

    You can build a new site on 7.0 or 7.1 if you feel the need, and then cancel the old one after moving your domain, but you cannot change templates the same way you can with 7.0. As a reminder you can make any 7.1 design look like any other by tweaking the style options adjusting layouts etc.. If you start a new trial, activate it, and then cancel the old one you will need to apply for a refund,

    Depending on the 7.0 switch it is not just a snap of the fingers. It is less challenging if the templates are in the same family such as Brine. The ends and outs of switching templates for both 7.0 and 7.1 are explained in detail here:

  6. Two things to look at . 

    Add Squarespace defaults

    Squarespace defaults are DNS records that point your domain to your site. Your domain can stop connecting to your site if these records have been edited or deleted. If your domain is connected via DNS Connect, follow these steps to restore the defaults:

    1. Open the Domains panel.
    2. Click the domain you're working to connect.
    3. Click Edit DNS.
    4. Select Squarespace defaults from the Add preset drop-down menu.
    5. Click Add.
    6. Here is the complete guide fo all SS domain settings:https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205812348#h_01GTF9SH0S33FWTK2NJETCNRZP

    2 check this guide to set google mx records:

  7. There may be code to keep the Nav bar from morphing to a hamburger, but there are other steps you can take as well to prevent this. 

    From Bedford support guide:

    Navigation menu icon is showing on a computer

    A ☰ appears when there’s not enough room in the browser window for all navigation links to display. Click the menu icon to display a navigation overlay.

    The menu icon and navigation overlay help make your site mobile-friendly, responsive, and easier to navigate. It’s not possible to remove this feature. However, there are some things you can do to reduce the width and display all links:

    • Reduce the number of navigation items. One method is using folders to create drop-down menus.
    • Reduce the font size and spacing of the navigation using the Nav link font tweak in the Site navigation section of site styles.
    • Reduce the site title or logo container width in the Site header section of site styles.
  8. The first thing is that you need to build an eligible Squarespace site or a holding page (coming soon) to point your Squarespace domain to. You will not be able to move your existing site's content directly to Squarespace. 

    Then you follow the directions that you will find here: moving Squarespace domain to another Squarespace site,  in your case from a third-party site to a Squarespace site. This is done in the Squarespace account panel not on the third-party site. You would access the domain panel in your new site configuration go to domains and click on use a domain I own, enter it in the panel on the right, and follow instructions from that point. 

  9. To remove the date published add this to custom css

     .published { display: none }

    To filter the posts use an archive block in your blog page header that pulls content from your blog page, choose layout/dropdown, and set it to group by category. 

    This helps with two of your requests. 

  10. You can't duplicate an index page but you can duplicate pages in the index, create a new index page in the unlinked section of your site and put the duplicated pages in it, and make it look like the original one. Avenue which I use, works the same way. Project pages, I think, should work the same way. I think.
