Hi, hope someone can help.

I would like to add a second thumbnail above the excerpt and bellow the blog post title. Does anyone know a css code or a way to do it (like the Lois Jean example https://loisjeanstore.com/journal/). The red image is from my blog.

Thanks!

Hi.

If you don't post a lot of posts, we can manually insert the CSS. 1 post = 1 CSS. You can share link to blog page, we will give the code. If the site is private/trial, you can setup password & share url

However if you post a lot, it can seem time consuming.

Thanks so much! I don't mind manually inserting the css for each post. Right now I have a ton of posts but that is because I'm setting it up. In the future they would be less frequent.

Try adding to Design > Custom CSS

/* Post 1 */
article .article-index-1 h1 a:after {
    content: "";
    display: block;
    background-image: url(https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2021/06/29/18/55/mountain-slope-6374980__340.jpg);
    width: 100%;
    height: 70px;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
}
/* post 2 */
article .article-index-2 h1 a:after {
    content: "";
    display: block;
    background-image: url(https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2021/04/12/21/46/girls-6174061__340.jpg);
    width: 100%;
    height: 70px;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
}

This is amazing! One last question, it is adding the code to the top post on each page instead of the 1st post posted, how would I change that?

Thank you so much for your help! I appreciate it so much!

I used a tag to identify the specific post instead of "article-index" which seems to have fixed the issue. So now the css reads:

// post 1 //
article .tag-reminisce h1 a:after {
content: "";
display: block;
background-image: url(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60db1b35c217e24b00d20d7c/1625495407831-AM1X4Q3DHIZ0KYGNXLKA/Boss+Edit+VOL211.jpg?format=300w);
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 50%;
height: 120px;
height: 5em;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
