Page Creation Tips

Images / Files

When updating a Image block, try using the “Search For Image” Imported feature before uploading a new image. Squarespace currently does offer basic file library management but interface is not user friendly, so its best to reuse if possible.

Blogs

Blog posts always display in chronological order from the creation date/time. It is not possible to add a new blog post between two existing posts. The workaround requires moving the contents of each post to the next. For example we have three posts with create dates: 1/3/2021, 1/17/2021, 1/24/2021. To add the missing 1/10/2021 post, you must create new post, move 1/25/2021 to the new post, move 1/17/2021 to the previous 1/24/2021 post, then add the 1/10/2021 contents to the previous 1/17/2021 post.

Take advantage of the “duplicate post” feature to preserve complicated formatting and page options for a new post and calendar events.

Private Pages

When creating a page not intended for the public, set the Password before adding any content. This ensures search engines do not index private information.

Search

The built in Squarespace site search uses the page Title, Tags, and Categories SEO keywords to build its index. (Not the main content!)
