Blog posts in Squarespace are organized into two key components: Blog Pages (landing pages displaying multiple posts) and individual Posts (each with its own URL).

Adding a Blog Page (Version 7.1):

  1. Open Pages panel and click + icon
  2. Select Blog from Collections
  3. Choose a layout
  4. Enter page title and press ENTER
  5. Customize settings like posts per page and SEO options

Creating a New Post:

  1. Open Pages panel
  2. Click blog page
  3. Click + in sidebar
  4. Enter post title (max 200 characters)
  5. Add content using Text Block and other elements

Editing Post Settings:

  • Featured Image
  • Excerpt
  • Post URL
  • Author
  • Tags and Categories
  • Comments
  • SEO settings
  • Social sharing options
  • Location

Mobile Editing via Squarespace App:

  1. Tap More → Pages → blog
  2. Tap + to create new post
  3. Enter title and content
  4. Add text, images, or line blocks
  5. Save changes

Post Publishing Options:

  • Save as draft
  • Schedule for later
  • Publish immediately
  • Share on social media
  • Send as email campaign

Note: Blog posts use the classic editor, not the Fluid Editor. Multiple blog pages can exist on one site, and each post has its own dedicated URL.

Additional Features:

  • Comment management
  • Social media integration
  • Location tagging
  • Featured post highlighting
  • SEO optimization tools
  • Post categorization
  • Excerpt creation
  • Source URL linking

This comprehensive system allows for organized content management while maintaining flexibility in presentation and sharing options.
