Greetings community!

Squarespace 7.0 (https://www.dssinc.com/blog)

Blog page template does not allow for section blocks to be inserted beneath the blog posts, can only add content above the posts. Is there a way to customize via Javascript, code injection or custom css whereas it's possible to rearrange the blog page so that adding content (text blocks, image blocks, code blocks, etc.) beneath the posts is possible?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

We can not create sections on blog post, just element block.

I wonder where you mean when referring 'beneath the posts'.

- before the Author?

- Or right before the footer?

- Or something else? ...

Use blog summary blocks on a blank page or in a second blog page and you can add any other content on the same page. Put your primary blog page in the unlinked section of your site and let the blog summary block page act as your blog listing page. It can be arranged like the blog page. And it exibits 30 items per block not just 20 per page as the standard blog page.  You can see one of my blog summar block  pages (inside a second blog )  in action here:

It has a blog posts items (and I can arrange them as a wall, grid, carousel) an image block and a quote block. I can add any block and if 7.1 add a section as well.

I'd like to be able to place content here (between bottom of posts and footer).

Appreciate the tip. We tried this method before asking for assistance here. The only issue with that option, is that there isn't any buttons and/or links for users to click to see "older/previous" post and be able to cycle through all of our post. 

Is there a way to include that function if using the summary block method?

You can see just about every post I have right here on one page and at the top is a drop  down archive block seperating posts by subject. The only posts you can't see on this page are ones that have their own menu on the nav bar. They could be on the page if I wanted them there. You click on any one of the category groups titles on the page and the next  and eprevious links to a category show up as well. Click on any indivdual post and links to newer and older posts show up.  It is not perfect but works for my subscribers quite well so I have been told. Oh you can have the. Older previous buttons or links if you add them manually.
