    Thanks for the video, Nat! I created my website after watching your chat with Ali and then reading your blog post. I really like that idea about creating a separate title, description, and image for seo. I'm about to make that update now. Thanks again for the motivation!

    Loving this series of videos.
    I attempted to apply each step you instructed. However, one hangup is at the customizing of webflow step. I was unable to embed the convert kit newsletter form due to only having the free account. Need to spend $20 per month (or $192 for the year) to be able to utilize the embed option. Just an FYI. Thank you for these videos.

      Nice catch, Derek! I'm sure you saw this but at 8:59 Nat shares a second way to accomplish the same thing through Zapier which is free for up to 100 tasks.

    I have wanted to switch to webflow from Squarespace, but I want to transfer my blog from the old site to the new site. For the life of me, I can't do it or figure it out. Do you have any advice on how I can save my blog posts from many years to webflow?

      You should be able to do an Export from SquareSpace then Import them into your Webflow CMS

      ​@@MatthewGattozzi I did some reading for you to try and help and you're right, it looks like you can only export to Wordpress as an XML file from Squarespace, but uploading that file to Webflow won't work.
      For that, you'll need to convert the XML file into a CSV format.
      Here are 2 ways to do that (mind you I've never personally had to do it):
      1- Upload the XML file that you exported from Squarespace to a local Wordpress install and then install a Wordpress plugin that can convert from XML to CSV (just search from "XML to CSV Wordpress plugin). Upload that CSV file to Webflow. Profit?
      2- Search for XML to CSV converter on Google. There are a couple results that popup. Upload the exported XML file and convert. Upload that to Webflow. Profit?
      It's a tedious workaround and I hope Webflow comes up with a more elegant solution as that would make it easier for someone to change to Sqaurespace to Webflow, but until then, good luck!
