Is the Fluid Engine editor available for the individual blog post pages?

My site is built on 7.1 using Fluid Engine, and I'm adding a blog, but when I create my individual blog posts (not the main blog page) the Fluid Engine editor isn't available for me to lay out the page as I'd like. I don't even get the option to "upgrade" the post pages to Fluid Engine. Am I missing something, or is Fluid Engine just not available for blog posts on 7.1? Thanks!

You’re not missing anything. Fluid engine is a recent addition and is not yet available within blog posts, events or products.

Do you know if/when squarespace plans on updating blog posts to fluid engine? I'm getting very frustrated making my whole website look a certain way and then I cannot achieve that look on any blog posts.

What look are you having trouble with? I should be able to tell you how to do it with the standard (7.0-like) design tools.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I can say that I have been creating a more custom layout with full screen images on blank pages and you cannot do that with the standard out of the box blog page. Fluid engine is great but missing in a few areas such as customizing blog layouts and blog pages.
