Styling the Blog Carousel and Blog Landing page - Brine Template V7.0

Site URL: https://www.cleanplate.co.nz/home

Hi There,

What I would like to achieve is something like the following images - adding a background colour to the UI card, and adjusting the padding so that the text sits inside the card on the Blog Carousel and the Blog Landing Page, but I am not sure how to achieve it as I can't see the classes to target.  Any suggestions welcome.

a) Blog Carousel on the home page https://www.cleanplate.co.nz/home

b) Blog Landing Page https://www.cleanplate.co.nz/blog

Try adding to Design > Custom CSS

/* Home summary */
div#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1587519255195_126544 .summary-item {
    background-color: pink;
}
div#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1587519255195_126544 .summary-content.sqs-gallery-meta-container {
    padding-left: 10px;
    padding-right: 10px;
}

Hi @tuanphan

Thanks for your speedy, but I wish it were that simple - see below.  The padding is easy, but containing the spread of the background-color, I am finding difficult.  But I am going to give this tutorial I have since found a go.

I have found this page a help:  https://mkwcreative.co/blog/card-style-summary-blocks-squarespace

Do you still need help?

@tuanphan - I am going good now, thanks.  Thanks for asking.

Yes please, I have been trying to work it out. I ended up deleting the styles I had added.

What I have been trying to achieve is having the same height on the containers, irrespective of the character count.  As we have both discovered it has ended up a bit of a basket case.

What I have been trying to achieve is this:

Desktop:

Tablet:

Mobile (single column):

But things haven't gone to plan.

Can you offer any suggestions?

I had added the likes of:

.BlogList-item {height: 53vh! important;}

with media queries based on device width, but it quickly got out of control.

I could this site helpful, as I don't have many devices to test on:

Any suggestions would be valuable as I would like regulars height containers, but with the variable character count, I don't know if it would be possible.  Thanks @tuanphan
