Hi there, can you please tell me how to change the blog post font on the Rally Template. It's coming up with a completely different font to the rest of the website. I've tried all the Style Editor options and pasting as plain text and removing formatting. Nothing works, please help!
Just started on Squarespace one month ago and you were instrumental in helping me not to pull out what’s left of my hair! Your teaching skills are amazing. You definitely found your gift. I thank you :)
This was so helpful because I was so lost on how to add a blog to my website. I was fine up until the very end when you talked about adding categories. Totally got lost there. ...and I'm definitely going to need to add categories for my blogs. Thank you for the video.
Thank you Louise!! This saved me sooo much time! I am embarrassed to say I've been trying for hours to figure out what you showed me in the first 2 mins.
I did exactly as you said, dear Louise, and it worked, but two issues arise, that I could not find answers to in your video. One: when I click the "Read More" link it takes me to the other unlined blog page and I can read the full blog post, BUT the date is showing at the top of the blog. Even though I turned it off on the LINKED blog. Also when I click the little thumbnail picture next to any given post or the TITLE on any post (on the LINKED blog page, where they are all in row) the link takes me to my Home page or Welcome page, NOT to the blog post. You video did not cover how to deal with this. Can you help me? Thank you SO much. Robin
YAY, that worked!! My template didn't allow for the grid pattern, but the remainder of the tutorial was AWESOME. Thanks so much!! You're AMAZING as always :-)
A very helpful video. I would say that because you have two blog pages live at the same time, it is necessary to add a canonical header to ensure that a site doesn't get penalized for duplicate content. Thanks.
Very helpful thanks :) I have hundreds of blog posts to categorise... They are already on square space as a blog but I need more than 30 to show per page (I have about 50-100 per category) Any suggestions? Also my grid layout is all squeezed into the centre and the images are small how do I change it to look more like yours? Thank you in advance x
I am using a grid to display my blog, but I only want that grid "summary" page and all blog posts indexed. I do not want the primary blog page indexed as it might be confusing to have two blog "summary" pages (the original Blog page and the Grid summary page). How do I keep the original Blog page from being indexed (SEO) but still have each of the blog posts indexed?
Hi Louise. Thanks for your super helpful tutorials. I appreciate a lot. I have a question about the design of grid galleries in mobile view. Lets say, i have like 4 or 5 columns in desktop view. If i switch to mobile device, the blog posts are showed in stacked order. Is there a way to have 2 columns in mobile device view? Thanks a lot for your help. Jens
Hey there - great video! I was struggling a great deal until I came across this gem. I was just wondering if you had a video or any suggestions for getting past the 30 square limit? It will probably be a little way off but it would be nice to be ready should that time arrive. Thanks in advance!
Honestly, I'd pick a template that allows for the grid look so that you don't have to deal with this issue. Otherwise, to get around the 30 issue, you can stack summary blocks on top of one another and make use of categories or tags to control the order. Hope this makes sense! I can help you set it up if you need more assistance inside Website that Wows :) www.solopreneursidekick.com/course
Do you know if it possible to put archive/list beside the post section? We doesn't seems to be able to drag stuff and put it on the side of the blog section. I understand that this goes against the responsive design. Try to do the a page manually the ways I like, works, but if someone click on a category or month they are redirect to the homepage blog layout without the column with the category and date... Thank you. Might need to put those above are below the blog section....
Thanks so much for this helpful video. Do you have a video that talks about styling the blog detail page? I mean the page you see when you click through on a blog post. Mine is showing a banner above the blog post which is generated from the blog thumbnail. It doesn't look great. I'd like to hide it or change what it displays. Hoping you have a video on that, fingers crossed.
dang, this is frustrating. when I go to my design section it's missing things. It only has: Logo & Title Template Site Styles Lock Screen Checkout Page Not Found / 404 Page Squarespace Badge Custon CSS Template Settings ^ could this be because of the current theme I have installed? how do I get the options that you show in this video?
I am having the same issue. I swear I was able to easily change the page layout but can't. Now I'm watching this video and have the same issue (my DESIGN section is missing certain options ie. Style Editor) So frustrating!
Hi there...coming into this video three years late but thank you for your help. this has been plaguing me for years. I now have followed all the directions you advised in your video but now when i test it in real time and click on my individual blog posts an error message pops up "We couldn't find the page you were looking for. This is either because:" so that means the URL of the blog post is not connected when I've created the secondary blog page. How can I remedy this? I have the page that my viewers can visit but because now my content is in the not linked section how do i fix this? Thank you!
Hi Brennan! Oh no! I believe there are quite a few things that have been updated so this may be why. I would suggest reaching out to Squarespace Support to see why you might be having this connection issue, and why this might be happening. You can contact them here: support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/requests/new#choose-topic 🙂 Best of luck getting this sorted!
Hey Louise - I don't have any access to the tools for my website like you showed in your design section for me to edit the blog. Do I need to upgrade my squarespace?
Hey Lizzie! This is an older version of Squarespace (7.0) and it may be that you're on a newer version (as all templates are now created as 7.1 templates)! So that could be the reason for this difference 🙂 I hope that helps clarify!
Hello Louise, I don't have the style editor button, I can't make HALF the changes you have available. Why is that? Under design, I just have Site Styles and I can only change color and font, that's really about it. What am I missing?
Hi Lousie, I am struggling to get the size of the pictures in the right dimensions. :/ The text ist never fully shown, no matter which aspect ration I choose. Do you have a tutorial on that?
Sorry I don't! But try going into "Site Styles" -- you'll see you have editing options there for the dimensions ;) If you would like my help with your site, check out my course here: www.solopreneursidekick.com/join (you can start with a free trial :))
Hi Pati! That's something I needed to code. If you would like help with customizations like that, come join me inside my online course, Website that Wows (where I provide tech solutions like this). Here's the link to check it out: bit.ly/websitethatwows :)
hi! i'm having trouble going back and editing the blog page. I want to edit the gutter space and image size. when i click on settings on both the linked blog page and unlinked blog page, there is no option for these anymore. Hope you can help!
Hey Alison! Check out my course Website that Wows here: solopreneursidekick.com/course (this is where I offer tech support - you can start with a free trial!)
You should be able to change that under "Site Styles." It may depend on your template though. If you'd like my help with this, check out my online program here: www.solopreneursidekick.com/course :)
Thats'a a great way to hadle it, especially in templates like Hayden which has very limited options for making Blog page attractive! But l have a problem: the STYLE EDITOR option doesn't appear under STYLES! Has anyone had the same situation??
Hey Stefanie - I agree! For a lot of people though, with the right tags & categories this isn't the BIGGEST deal. However - I would now recommend using a template that allows this switch within the template itself. I may take this video down because of that!

So kind of you to say Sean! I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know - great to know I'm on the right track :)

Tags can be a little confusing! I go more in depth on this in my course Uplevel with Asana 🙂
Thank you Louise!! This saved me sooo much time! I am embarrassed to say I've been trying for hours to figure out what you showed me in the first 2 mins.

This was so helpful, thank you so much Louise!
This was exactly what I was looking for! Excellent information, clear and concise, and the step by step method is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
super helpful, thanks for sharing! wish I had seen this before building the whole website on a template that disables changing blog layout..
So helpful! I'm turning my ebook into a blog version so it's easier to find and easier to read and this was perfect. Thank you!
Yayy!! So happy to hear that 😄🙌

So helpful! I was lost and now I am found! Thank you Louise!!!!!!

Is there an updated video for 2021? Grid doesn't seem to exist as an option anymore?
Did you ever figure this out?
Love this grid look! I am used to that traditional look, but am ready for a change! Great vid!!
Yesss!! This would look so good for you actually & have people viewing even more weddings I think!
Thank you! Your videos are always so reliable!
Thank you! Appreciate that :)
YAY, that worked!! My template didn't allow for the grid pattern, but the remainder of the tutorial was AWESOME. Thanks so much!! You're AMAZING as always :-)
Woohoo!! 👏👏👏 You're so welcome! And thanks ;)

You're so welcome! Glad I could help Lina! 💕
Can you please share how you linked more blog posts on your blog page under the "Newer" and "Older" links to resolve the 30 newset posts issue?
This video is super helpful, thank you! How would I link the grid pages in the three lines on the top right corner?
Very helpful thanks :) I have hundreds of blog posts to categorise... They are already on square space as a blog but I need more than 30 to show per page (I have about 50-100 per category) Any suggestions? Also my grid layout is all squeezed into the centre and the images are small how do I change it to look more like yours? Thank you in advance x
Do you think that you could do a video in the future about how you came up with ideas for your logo and created it? Thanks:)
Yes! I can absolutely do that Mary :)

Can you please tell me that how to show two blog posts in one row on mobile version of Squarespace?
what is the best template that you can suggest for customization
Thanks so much for this helpful video. Do you have a video that talks about styling the blog detail page? I mean the page you see when you click through on a blog post. Mine is showing a banner above the blog post which is generated from the blog thumbnail. It doesn't look great. I'd like to hide it or change what it displays.

Sorry I do not! That is something I could help you with inside my program Website that Wows. Check it out here: bit.ly/websitethatwows :)
I was trying to do this and it looked very different for me on my end when I tried adding a new page and a grid so I was not able to figure it out :/
dang, this is frustrating.
when I go to my design section it's missing things. It only has:
Logo & Title
Template
Site Styles
Lock Screen
Checkout Page
Not Found / 404 Page
Squarespace Badge
Custon CSS
Template Settings
^ could this be because of the current theme I have installed? how do I get the options that you show in this video?
I am having the same issue. I swear I was able to easily change the page layout but can't. Now I'm watching this video and have the same issue (my DESIGN section is missing certain options ie. Style Editor) So frustrating!

Hi Steve - you might be on version 7.1! Click the "Help" tab when you are logged into Squarespace and you should see what version you're on.
Thanks! Really helpful x
You're very welcome Emma!
Thank you! Super Helpful!
Yay! I'm so glad 💕

Very Helpful :)
Yay! Happy to hear that! 😊
How do I change the font on my blog page under each blog post without it changing the font on my homepage??
You should be able to change that under "Site Styles." It may depend on your template though. If you'd like my help with this, check out my online program here: www.solopreneursidekick.com/course :)
How do I remove the text below the grid I created that says "no blog posts yet"?
You need to fill in blog posts to remove that or hide that page for now by dragging it to the "not linked" section :)
nice conetent👍
Thanks so much! :)
i have version 7.0 , but mu options are different. a lot of things are different. Frustrating!
Hey Eddie! Yes, unfortunately Squarespace has made quite a few changes with the editor! So sorry that this isn't matching up with those anymore!
Thats'a a great way to hadle it, especially in templates like Hayden which has very limited options for making Blog page attractive! But l have a problem: the STYLE EDITOR option doesn't appear under STYLES! Has anyone had the same situation??
Yes! They have just since changed the name from "Style Editor" to "Site Styles" - everything else is the same :)
Oh no, you should mention that this option is only for max. 30 posts first... What a disappointment to watch all of this and then that..
Hey Stefanie - I agree! For a lot of people though, with the right tags & categories this isn't the BIGGEST deal. However - I would now recommend using a template that allows this switch within the template itself. I may take this video down because of that!
