Hi there! I am working on the blog section of my website. I would like the meta data to show but the alignment / styling of the metadata is a bit off.

  1. How can I get it so that the alignment of the date, bullet point, and the tag is all in one line? Currently, it looks like BLOG RECIPE is a subscript
  2. Would it be possible to change how the date shows up as September 5, 2024 instead of 9/5/2024?

 

Thank you so much!!

@elisasunga The date format is something thats a little more complicated and I'm pretty sure needs javascript in this spot but you could try this in custom css to see if you can get it aligned. There's some weird stuff in Squarespace's css there that's causing this. 

.blog-basic-grid .blog-meta-section * {
  font-size: 13px !important; //change to desired font size
}
.blog-basic-grid .blog-meta-section {
  padding: 15px 0; //adjust the first number to add spacing above and below.
}
