Holy Moly! You are a great instructor. I choose you to learn all 7.1 from. Strange how little clear instruction there is out there. Subscribed, liked, and desperate for some Summary Block/Page/Section teaching from you! #respect
I KNEW there would be something on RUclips that would help me. I've had nobody to ask about how to maneuver my way around Squarespace, so I am really happy to find this.
Amazing information ! Thank you so much ! I'm still trying to figure out how to push my text box further to the left. It only goes to a certain extent. Kinda frustrating.
You may have to go in Design Settings and click "spacing" and drag the spacer so that it goes wider. This is after you adjusted the content width and left justified the text...
OMG! You are great! You helped me out so much. And just to think, I was going to bypass your video. Thank god I didn't. I will have to watch a few more times before moving on to the other parts. Thanks again!
So happy to help! Let us know if you would like to see any particular trainings, we'd love to create a video to help. Thanks for the comment, please share with someone that needs it!
Thank you for your straightforward, informative and simple explanation of content blocks! I do have a question since you were going over images. Apologies if you've answered this in another video (this is the very 1st I've watched of yours!). Through Squarespace is it possible to crop your image into a shape? I'd like my image circular (vs. the standard square/rectangle). Thank you!
This is a great tutorial! Precisely what I need. My problem is that those black bubbles you mentioned at 2:20 don't show up on my screen, in Edit mode. Seems like I'm not the only one. I'm using the full width on my Mac.
Those bubbles are gone now! I just uploaded a new video yesterday showing you where to find it now.... Squarespace made some design experience changes and now that bubble is gone! Check out the video here: ruclips.net/video/kzHHRZ5enoY/видео.html
Hey there! How can you go back and add additional text within an existing section though, such as quotes? I would like to add more quotes within my quotes section but i do not have the option to add more text there.
If I understand correctly, then yes. Stay tuned for updated videos on content blocks. Squarespace has made a ton of changes in the short time since this video!
Awesome video! Thanks. I am inserting amazon affiliate links and I am having trouble resizing the image on my page. Is there a way to make amazon links smaller?
I'm new to squarespace, and I can't seem to edit or type in a text box. I get the blue higjlighted box, but no black bubble to even choose editing options. HELP PLEASE
** Minor design experience changes by Squarespace have been made as of 2/2021 I cover them in this video: ruclips.net/video/kzHHRZ5enoY/видео.html if you can't find what you're looking for!
Hi, I'm having trouble editing a text box on my website. I assume the text box should automatically pop up, but it never does. It was working earlier however it doesn't show up anymore. I've referred back to your reply to Tammy W.'s comment as she was having the same problem but unfortunately it still doesn't seem to work.
Are you clicking and holding the image and moving it? You may be moving it into the "box outline" that appears. Use the grey line as a guide to where the text box is going and drop it where you want it to land.
In edit mode just hover over the image, click with your mouse or pad, and drag it where you need it to go! This is for an image block. If it is a banner image, you will have to delete it and add it again where you want it to go OR use the arrow in teh edit box up and down the page to where you want it to go.
I just really need to know how to get a copied block onto another part of the same website. I want my Contact form to be the same on my Home Page as it is on my Contact Page itself. Do you know how to do this?
I am currently working on my website and getting really frustrated. When will you stop with the spacer bars and just let us resize the picture itself? The spacer bars are the biggest pain in the ass to use. That is the only problem I have with squarespace. The spacer bars never seem to work the way you want. Grrr!
Hi there...great content (especially compared to the anemic vids offered by SQSP!). The info is great, but I'm a tad stuck where you add spacers and adjust the sizes to an existing block, say a quote or text block. I did learn to place the chosen spacer to the right or left of the vertical bar (or above, etc), to get it where you want. But once I place them where needed, I can't for the life of me grab the edges to adjust the sizes! Specifically, at 6:17 “...If want to make it a little larger..” Well, when I insert an image box, then add two spacers to balance the look/adjust the size, I cant grab the spacer lines to make then smaller and or larger. I can just about change the size of the image block but ONLY via the corner of the block (it moves diagonally) and seems to balk at going exactly where one wants, as if the sizes are sorta' preset. I'll look at your other vids in the meantime but if you have any input, I'm all ears! Thx....
No offense, but non of this is making sense on my page. I've never had issues before and now I can't add blocks or a banner ad. I've also just spent 4 hours trying. So frustrating
Not without some code.. which is what I do not teach on for the purpose of keeping it simple. I know there are certain design preferences that are needed, you should look into a Squarespace coding expert for some help!
I have Squarespace version 7.1, but no “bubble.” It’s so frustrating watching a video where one cannot replicate the very foundational elements required.
Squarespace Made some major backend design management improvements and changes in the last few months and they are continuing to roll out beta design changes. This video is slightly outdated as the bubble has now disappeared. Simply hover over the contact block you want to edit and you should achieve the same result. Thanks for your comment!
Hi. Thank you for your help. I've ran into a problem this evening. I am in edit mode but when I hover over most of the content blocks like text I cannot edit them except deleting by highlighting and clicking the delete button on my keyboard. I can still access editing options for the header but the whole editing experience seems to be broken. I am on 7.1. Please help.
@@bloomcreativecompany Yes, it turns out I had to wait a few hours for things to get back to normal. It still takes a bit to get used to 7.1 having used 7.0 for the past two years.
I have the same problem. I‘m only in my trial session and already confused 😕 I never used 7.0 before... but 7.1 doesn‘t seem to funcion right. So you just had to wait? It had the same problem 3 days ago 🤷🏼♀️ I don‘t know what I should do, it never worked.
I'm sorry you are having an experience like this! I am doing what I can to help simplify :) Is there anything specific you are struggling with? I can add it to the queue of upcoming trainings.
Sorry you feel that way! Good news is you can control the speed and location where you start, next time, move to. teh screen share so you don't have to hear be "blather", if you listen to the "blather"... there may be some gems in there.

The option to add a block isn't coming up. neither is the text box. what's going on?
This happened to me recently. I think there was a glitch... try reaching out to support to report it so they can fix it.

Make sure you are editing on a desktop and the full width of your window, try that!

I've referred back to your reply to Tammy W.'s comment as she was having the same problem but unfortunately it still doesn't seem to work.
This may be because there is an update in the editing feature and some changes. Click in the box to see if the option pops up...
Just a simple question: I want to move a text box but it keeps snapping back into the center. Thanks
Are you clicking and holding the image and moving it? You may be moving it into the "box outline" that appears. Use the grey line as a guide to where the text box is going and drop it where you want it to land.
How can you move an image to wherever you want it to be when using a template? Thanks for

Fuckinn'ell, such good content :D
Is there a way to set up recurring donations on squarewspace without a 3rd party plugin?
I don't believe so, there is a subscription option in the shop, that could be a workaround for you.
THOSE BUBBLES TO EDIT AND ADD DOESNT APPEAR! EVERY TIME I MAKE A NEW PAGE IT JUST APPEAR A TEXT BLOCK BUT I CANT ADD OR EDIT IT
SS made a recent update, this video covers the changes: ruclips.net/video/kzHHRZ5enoY/видео.html
How do you get the "bubbles"? They don't show up for me and I can't even get started.
Is there a way to get it so when so someone rolls their cursor over a picture it automatically enlarges?

Nice video but I have more subs. You have more views thought.
Way too complicated, it should be very simple ... they advertise that you can do it yourself , it is total lie
