    Thank you so much! The class ID was wrong but I found it and this is what works:

    .user-items-list-simple img {
      border-radius: 60px 0px 60px 0px;

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from ingetspoke in Adjust calendar block color?   
    Place in Custom css the colors can be changed using hex codes which are found here: https://www.color-hex.com/ yui3-squarespacecalendar .yui3-calendar-pane { padding: 12px; background: #f5f5f5 !important; } .yui3-squarespacecalendar .today{ color: #ff3333 !important; } .yui3-squarespacecalendar .compact-layout .yui3-calendar-day.has-event{ background: #e7d073 !important; } .yui3-squarespacecalendar .compact-layout .yui3-calendar-day.has-event, .yui3-squarespacecalendar { color: #222 !important; }  
    This code has worked also, depending on the template:
    /background color//
    .yui3-squarespacecalendar .yui3-calendar-pane { padding-top: 10px;  padding-bottom: 10px; background: white !important;
      filter: opacity(80%);
      border: 0px solid #ffffff;
    }
    //today calendar color//
    .yui3-squarespacecalendar .today{ color: #ff3333 !important; }

    //event date colors//
    .yui3-squarespacecalendar .compact-layout .yui3-calendar-day.has-event{ background: #171828 !important; 
    }
    ///change all date text color//
    td.has-event * {
        color: white !important;
    }

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from aaaallleeexx in wells - gallery view default   
    By default, Wells has a grid with thumbnails or slideshow image gallery pages, that is all. You can enlarge the thumbnails and  stack the images using this  code in custom CSS 
    #galleryWrapper #thumbnails { height: auto !important; } #galleryWrapper #thumbnails .thumb { width: 100% !important; left: 0 !important; top: 0 !important; height: auto !important; position: relative !important; margin-bottom: 10px; }

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from Bettoriginal in Wexley: Force images to stay in place   
    The Wexley Gallery Pages are designed to be dynamic, they move images, resize them, all to keep the look on any sized screen. To fix the number of images per row, use a gallery block as opposed to a gallery page. You can set this up in your unlinked section, create a blank page add a gallery block and in the design you can set the number of images PER ROW to what you want. If you want two images the block will always show two. Once you have built the page or pages, you can move them to the linked section and if you want make one your home page and rename them to take the place of any page you no longer want. If you need any help with this just let me know. 
    I have built two sites on Wexley and this does work,  I am using this feature on this Wexley site in some of the gallery/blog posts. A gallery block works the same in a blog or on a page.

    The Action section doesn't allow more than five links but you can add as many links as you like if you add them to the body area of the Branding & Text section. 🙂

    I am using the Avenue template and can do as you asked. My site right now has three layers of links as well as two. I have three using a category drop down block and I have links on my nav bar (under photography lessons) that are three layers deep some two.  You can take a look from my home page. Remember my arrangement can be customized. I have done this for other customer sites as well.

    The 7.1 "designs" are shown on this page: https://www.squarespace.com/templates. Although the starting points may look different, they all use the same "7.1" template and have the same features.
    The older 7.0 template families are still available here: https://www.squarespace.com/templates/browse/v7. Unlike 7.1, each template family has different features.

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from GerDevCole in Falling snowflakes on webpage   
    I found his code to work better on my 7.0 site, you add it to a page in advanced header, if you add it to an index page header (like in Avenue) it shows up in all pages viewed from that index. You can adjust the snowflakes in the CSS section copy the code starting with <style> :
    .snowflake { position: fixed; background-color: #CCC; user-select: none; z-index: 1000; pointer-events: none; border-radius: 50%; width: 10px; height: 10px; } https://myrandomviews.com/williamsburg-christmas/

    derricksrandomviews got a reaction from vurt in Cannot edit blog title   
    The link is going to a blog post not the blog listing page itself The actual blog page is here.
    https://www.lammay.co/happy-brides/  notice that you have a title of your comments page, and there is no comments section at the bottom. 
    The post where folks leave comments is a post in the blog. Why you can't see your blog page with the a in config, I can't explain it. If you don't see it you will not be able to create a new post.  When on the blog post page hit your  escape key and then log in if needed. It should take you to the settings for that page.

    Reviews is not the blog page, it is a link to the page. The actual blog page has a small a on the left side of the page in pages under configuration. Click the a panel will open on the left with all your blog posts listed there. Then click the thumbnail of the one you want to change the title to. The edit and settings panel opens up and the title is on the frist line of that panel. You will notice a small arrow up on the right hand corner of that panel. When you click it it opens the content of the post for full screen editing, the settings tabs go away until you click that arrow again.

    Using 7.1 go to pages, click on the blog page, click the thumbnail for the post you want to edit from the list. Click edit up in the top left of the panel that opens, then click the actual title of the blog. A vertical line appears and at that point you can edit the title or delete it using the backspace key. 
    If you are wanting to change the blog page name, go to pages then click the gear icon next to the blog page, the settings come up and you can change the name of the page, and the navigation name there.
