    You can move your domain to Squarespace and build a site here as well. Squarespace sites are not hosted outside of Squarespce like Wordpress can be.

    Use Summary blocks to display your blog posts. You can have up to 30 post per block and you can chain blocks together for as many posts as you want on one page. You use hidden categories to filter the posts. First 30 cat 1-30 second 30 give each post the cat of 31-60 or whatever name you want group 1, group 2 etc. This takes a bit of work but it works out great, as you can see here: 
    https://myrandomviews.com/blogsummary 
    I have over 80 posts on one page categorized by subject. I used a second blog page to itemize the first, first blog for the posts, the second full of summary blocks. The summary blog is my front facing blog page, the actual blog is in the unlinked section of my site. You don't have to make yours as dramatic as mine, a new blank page with summary blocks on it will work quite well.

    derricksrandomviews reacted to paul2009 in Is there a way to archive blog posts?   
    You can do this by creating a second blog page for your archive.
    Once you have created your second (empty) blog, you can then return the main blog page, select the posts you'd like to archive and then click MOVE... to move them to the 'archive' blog.

    This simple code should do the trick, I use it myself, you can adjust the px numbers and shape the summary item a lot of different ways. I also have an adjustable drop shadow effect with the items: https://myrandomviews.com/blogsummary
    .sqs-block-summary-v2 .summary-item {
      border-radius: 15px 15px 15px 70px;

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from lightbulbmoments in My blog isn't showing more than 30 blog posts...help!   
    I can give you a quick formula for stringing blocks together, if you don't wish to purchase the plug-in that Paul posted the link to. 
    First step is to assign a tag or category to your blog posts. These do not have to be displayed on the post. I made it simple when I first did this before i broke them all down into seperate categories and used a second blog page with all my summary blocks. 
    Simply assign the first 30 blog posts a tag such as   1-30  and the second 31-60 etc. Then create a page (which can be a blog page)  in the unlinked section of your site and add two summary blocks to it, pulling content from your existing blog page with the tag filters. Frist blog filters 1-30, second 31-60. Remember to set the blocks for 30 items each. Once done, and you like the way it looks, put the summary block page in the linked section of your site and move your blog to the unlinked section. You can change the blog page url to something else and give your new summary page that url so visitors can find it, they won't know that it has changed actually. Need any help with this just let me know. 
    If you wish to use categories and a menu on your site that becomes a bit more complicated to create but I can help you with that as well.

    It sounds like you may have purchased a Personal Plan. Some types of code are not supported on this cheaper plan as they are considered a premium feature. This means that some code that functioned during the trial period may no longer work.

    You can get started with any templates in 7.1 version (latest version). All templates share same settings, that is, from a template, you can customize the settings so that it becomes another template.

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from anortherndesign in Help! Blog category URL not working   
    First off, check  your blog post settings, and make sure the category is displayed  at the bottom of edit post. You only need to check one post for each category. If it is you may need to reinstall the side bar archive block. You do have one category that works now, Feeding Relationships. Looking at that post should give you a clue as to why the others don't work. It is possible that if you changed posts urls after creating the dropdown that it did not update and can't find the pages. Reinstalling will correct that.

    If you switch to using summary blocks as your front facing blog page, then you have a lot of control over the items in the block. Here is some code I use to change the block items to just about any shape by adjusting the border radius along  with a box shadow:
    .sqs-block-summary-v2 .summary-item {
      background-color: #ffffff;
      border-radius: 15px 70px 15px 70px;
      -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 15px rgba(100, 100, 100, 100.1) !important;
      -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 15px rgba(100, 100, 100, 100.1) !important;
      box-shadow: 6px 5px 15px rgba(100, 100, 100, 100.1) !important;

    That is your best bet. I don't think you need to remove the header and footer for that page, like a home/cover page. You can create a blank page and add four click thru-image blocks or a gallery with four images each set for click-thru. The click thru can go to any page on your site or off.

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from ShortAngryViking in Dropdown menu WITHIN a page, not in the top nav   
    You simply need an item title and a one or multi  line description which is also your link or links to any page. That is not a bad thing when located in the middle of a page as opposed to being on the NAV bar. It is the easiet way to have a drop down in a page.  It will be better looking than stacking text links in a box, which don't drop down.
