    Logo is based off the very common "like" established already by all social media and online platforms. 
    Clean and bright to grab attention .

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from Amaya_SQSP in NO RECOMIENDO SQUARESPACE SI ERES DE AMERICA LATINA   
    Translation:
    I'm stuck on Squarespace. Terrible service if you're below the equator... I'm writing this in Spanish so Latinos can see it.
    I've had a thousand problems.
    Non-existent technical support. (I drag platform issues that just never responded)
    Half of the integrations they offer do not work in the South of the globe.
    They charge you for everything and even if it fails, they continue to charge you.
    Cannot access or connect to other platforms.
    Anyway. If you read this, and you are in the south of Mexico, do not pay for a year of this service. NOT WORTH IT... USE WIX OR ZIRO...
    I think that this forum has many of the answers to any problems you may have, in additon to Squarespace Technical Support. However anyone who needs help needs to do a few things to help the helplers so to speak. 
    1. Post the site url including a password if needed. 
    2. Let us know if you need code and or if you have any on your site now. 
    3. Be very specific about the problem, in other words what is it not doing you want it to do or what is it doing you don't want it to do. 
    4. Realize that sometimes a problem is caused  by  not using the configuration platform properly or to its full potential. 
    5. Be patient with us folks here, sometimes we have to go to the lab to figure things out. 
    6. And most of all remember that in the tech world nothing is perfect but can still be pretty good.

    I think so, not having done it I know the procedure but not how it turns out. You will need a One Drive account, upload the Excel files there and then embed them in your site:

    There is no quick way. There are some ways that may be less painful than manually copying and pasting.
    Would storing the reviews in a blog or blogs work for your needs? Then you could use Summary blocks in conjunction, with filtering if you want to access groups of posts.
    The pain part with blogs is that you'd have to use the Import feature which requires the use of WordPress Extended RSS file format which is very painful to work with. Especially since you'd have to construct the file by hand.
    derricksrandomviews idea sounds like a good one if you're happy how Google formats the info for you.

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from creedon in Replacing live site with duplicated site   
    It has been my experience that changing templates inside 7.0 is not a snap of the fingers, even inside the same template family. That is one of the things that the one template 7.1 allows to be done  easier, a retweaking of any named starting design point to be made to look like any other. That is less trouble than a template switch in my opinion.

    Sidebars as a standard feature are only available in Squarespace 7.0. Wells and Five have sidebars for all pages, others for blogs only. Here is the list.
     https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544967-Sidebars-in-version-7-0
    You can bulid one for 7.0 templates that don't have a sidebar, ( and most don't) and for 7.1. Here is a good tutorial on how to do both:

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from annleedesign in Is there a way to transfer/downgrade from 7.1 to 7.0?   
    You can move back, but there is no switch to do it. No option for a template change. You would need to start a new trial with a 7.0 site, build it, activate it, move your domain  and then cancel the original site, once you know the new one is working. You will get an immediate credit for time left on your old site. As far as a road map from 7.0 to 7.1, I don't see that happening any time soon if at all.  They are two very different platforms that intended or not are for two different kinds of website builders. I personally think that 7.1 is one good template family (inspired by the one page look of 7.0 Brine family) but it is more mobile  view driven, with preset designs, not exactly templates, not in the 7.0 sense anyway. It is meant to make it easier for new folks, do it your selfers to build a nice site without a lot of trouble and it fits that bill. I will build on it if it fits my customers needs, but I don't have any sites there yet. One thing that would make me stay with 7.0 is the  landing/cover page option which 7.1 does not have. 
    https://myrandomviews.com/ is my 7.0 Avenue site, been up for five years.

    I was surprised at how large it is, almost a full page. It is the layout's design.  My first suggestion is to try a different layout, but you may have the best one for what you are selling.

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from emilykrause in 50 tag limit in archive block   
    Each Archive Block supports one Group By option. To divide content in multiple ways, add multiple Archive Blocks. For example, you can add one Archive Block that lists content by tag and another that lists content by month. Archive Blocks can display up to 50 groups (months, years, authors, categories, or tags) with a maximum of 100 items per group.

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from Amaya_SQSP in Third party tool says domain is compromised. How do I check this?   
    First off your domain, not your website is hosted with a third party. An ip address itself cannot contain malware, the site the ip is connected to can. But if it did it would not matter if the domain was hosted by the website hoster or a third party, all who have a site there would have malware, all Brine users like yourself would have a problem. I don't and I have two sites on the same template and my malware protection does not see any problem. In other words it seems to me  you are getting a "false alarm" from the software you have posted a screen shot of.

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from Joseph20 in How Do I access my Image Library?   
    7.0  and 7.1 The easiet thing to do is create a blank page in the unlinked section of your site. It doesn't have to be enabled. Create an image block on that page and then click add an image, select from library.  At that point you can select any image by checking the small white box up in the left corner. Delete or add (that puts the image in the image block) can be chosen. Its a bit primitive but images can now be deleted out of your library.

    derricksrandomviews reacted to creedon in Third party tool says domain is compromised. How do I check this?   
    Folks. The other thing to keep in mind is what is the credibility of the tool you are using that is giving you this information. Please be aware that there are many tools that make all kinds of claims. Are they trying to sell you some product or service to protect you? Perhaps they are not legit and trying to get your info to scam you in some other manner. Be a cautious and informed consumer.
    Even some of the more "reputable" tools out there use FUD ( fear, uncertainty, and doubt ) tactics to get you to buy more expensive versions of their tools that you may not need.
    To be clear there are real threats out there but reacting to one report is premature. You need to build up some credible evidence.
