7.1 was inspired by the Brine Family of templates to begin with but it seems there is no 7.1 starting design that is exactly like the 7.0 Margo template with horizontal scrolling. That being said any 7.1 template can be made to look like any other because in effect they are one template with a lot of style changes which is why you will not find a template switch option in 7.1 I suspect you are wanting to migrate your pie.me site to 7.1. I think a site with the look closest to yours is Malone in 7.1 The layout is similar in many ways to your Margot design. https://malone-fluid-demo.squarespace.com/

Create a page in your unlinked section, add a gallery block, and add your asset library images to it. Then open an image left click and drag it into a folder on your desktop. You can also grab images from and existing gallery as well.

There may be some CSS code to adjust the section but I suspect that the image is the most effective way of doing it.

Much Better! More attention-grabbing now. It is a professional-looking and attractive site.

You can add a code block to get the effect but it would have to be added to every post. When you add it delete the <p> hello world<p> and just add the code as Ziggy posted it, all of it. You can see it on my test site: password is "takealook" https://reindeer-chihuahua-388s.squarespace.com/blog/classic-dill-pwfr2

Bounce rates are usually high on any website, meaning many folks visit one page and bounce away. This doesn't mean you have a bad site, not at all. Believe me, as a blogger and photographer I know. I noticed two things, the joyful spaces for living, I think it needs to be larger, much larger. Also, your link to services is not going to a page, it is going to the error and missing url message.

It comes up on the right side of the window after you click file. It is above the "open in new window" toggle.

Actually, it isn't all that hard to add a blog category on the Nav bar. Just create an archive block in the unlinked section of your site, filter it by blog page and category, and add a link to your nav bar with the web address of the category posts the archive block pulls up when you access it, like this: https://myrandomviews.com/blogsummary/category/The+Four+Green+Walls The special stories tab on my nav bar has two other links to posts listed by categorys and they are also on my archive pull-down block. I happen to have two blog pages, the front-facing one is all summary blocks posted by category/subject and those blocks pull content from my blog page that contains the actual posts. The actual blog page is in the unlinked section of my site.

I don't know about your current search bar plug-in. It may not be necessary for that plug-in after you move to use summary blocks. If you tell me what plug-ins you are using I can find out. There is one thing you should know, blog posts are limited to 20 items per page, and summary blocks are limited to 30 items per block but you can chain blocks on one page and filter those blocks by a category or tag so block one would contain the first 30 posts second block the next 30 and so on. I have more than 80 posts on one page using this method, plus all my summary blocks are in a second blog taking content from the first. There are many tricks available using summary blocks like special designs for the items, button colors all kinds of things. I think if you use a second blog page to host your summary blocks your search plugin will work with it. That can be determined. You should also take a look at this summary block plug in, it could work well for you: https://www.squarewebsites.org/squarespace-plugins/lazy-summaries it has a load more feature.

You can accomplish this by using a page of summary blocks as your front-facing blog page. You can duplicate the look of the blog page you have now. Once you build the summary block page, you move your blog page to the unlinked section of your site and switch the URL slugs so that your summary block page has the present blog page URL. Then any post that you want to go to your email you enable the option to link the post title to a URL which would be the URL on the site you wish the post to go to. Using summary blocks makes the title and the featured image both go to that URL and bypass the blog page completely. You can see an example here on my sandbox/lab site: https://reindeer-chihuahua-388s.squarespace.com/ password is takealook Choose " link post to url on the nav bar." The first post goes to my website the others work as normal. Remember all your posts would appear on the summary block page but only the ones that have the category email or what you choose would go to the other page. Also, you can add a drop-down menu with categories which would speed finding them up a bit. You can see that here on my page, all summary blocks. my random views just choose blog.

You will still have them when you edit a blog page however.

Squarespace won't push to a personal page only to a business page. If that isn't working something is wrong or has changed.

A summary block won't pull unpublished content from a blog page.

I am going to hijack this thread. There is a reason many 7.0 functions have not moved over to 7.1. Because they are so different from each other for the most part. Not all 7.0 functions can fit into the FE of 7.1 and not all FE functions work on 7.1, the blog page is an example. I think it boils down to this. 7.0 has evolved to be used by the more advanced, and experienced designers, including people who design for others, who want more template design choices, and template families that are very unique from others. 7.1 is mostly for first-time folks in my opinion, more mobile-driven than desktop. 7.1 is not a step up or step down from 7.0 in my opinion. It is a modification, a re-design, of the Brine Family from 7.0. The two together provide something for everyone. I choose to stay with 7.0 with my one template family, Avenue, and continue customizing my site to reflect my personality. I could build a look-a-like site on 7.1 but I still enjoy and am comfortable with the way 7.0 works. Derrick. my random views

Not that I am away off, but you can put multiple summary blocks on one page those some blocks can pull content from one blog and some from the other and it will look like one blog. If you have more than 30 posts in multiple blogs you would need more than one summary block to display them due to the 30-item limit per summary block. I have a page with over 80 posts and I could easily have the page pull content from more than one blog and I use two blogs pages. my random views

If you go to settings featured image, choose the image editor, then crop. Underneath all the choices you will see custom, choose that, and then you can use the slider to crop just the left side of the image without any other part moving. This works for both 7.0 and 7.1. It still may not do exactly what you want to center it, I thought it might be worth a try, however. What you might check is the image aspect ratio in the section editor and set the image aspect ratio to 3:2 or possibly widescreen. Also set the width to full not inset.

I have found that issues like this are usually caused by the browser you are using. I would delete browser history and cookies (passwords don't need to be deleted if using Chrome) and see if the problem improves.

I think that if you slightly crop the left side the image should shift to the left.

Glitches do occur with templates every now and then. I have had to fix a couple of issues that came up since 2015 with a solution similar to yours.

This is a tutorial for using the classic editor to make a section with image wrap. The classic editor is the default for 7.1 blog pages. So this tutorial picks up for you at the choose classic editor point. Image wrap effect using classic editor on pages and blog pages.

There is currently no word on adding FE to blog pages, but a blog page can be customized using the standard tools such as spaces to resize blocks on a page. With summary blocks and Custom CSS you can give a blog listing page a very unique look just to name a couple of things.

The link is to a custom WordPress site, hosted on Cloudflare. There are Squarespace 7.0 templates that have a similar look. Rally, a member of the Brine Family comes to mind, but there are others as well, all have parallax scrolling which can be turned off or on, so some templates here in the index may have a layout close to the one posted, but parallax is not active. I suggest you take a look at Rally. https://www.sarahhalliday.com/squarespace-tips/the-brine-family-template-index https://rally-demo.squarespace.com/ The original 7.1 design starting points "templates" as it were, are all inspired by the look of the Brine Family, which in the opinion of many designers is still the best set of templates you can choose from on the web.

No, you just add a new domain through Squarespace and then set it to be your primary domain if that is what you want. Content stays the same. One problem is that some page slugs and links may break if you deactivate your current domain. You can edit any link to the new domain if that should happen. It may take awhile for google search to see the change but it will happen at some point.

My answer posted last year still applies, importing style tweaks is still a 7.0 option, not available in 7.1

My answer posted last year still applies, it is a 7.0 option for Circle Members.
