Thank you Jennifer. I'm totally new on this. I am trying to find an easy way to categories my blog posts. So I want one for "bla" and another for"zzz". How do I do it? It seems a lengthy process to achieve a simple function.
Thank you :)Gaia

Hi Gaia! 👋 Are you asking how to add categories to your blog or how to choose them? To add categories, you'll go to the settings for the blog post, select Options > Categories, type your category followed by a comma. This creates the category. I show you how to do that at 19:36 in the video. If you're having difficulty choosing categories, I talk all about how to choose categories for your blog in my Traffic Transformer course that I'm launching very, very soon! I've also written a blog post about how to choose categories for your blog that you can access here → www.jenxwebdesign.com/blog/how-to-choose-categories-squarespace-blog . I hope that helps!

@@jenxwebdesign Thanks Jennifer. I'm asking about the possibility of having the "categories"/"search blocks somehow on the blog page, so people can easily search by categories. i added on the blog but when I search the how to actually display the "search by category option" it seems not possible or very complicated...Thank you (this is an example ruclips.net/video/wkJfHMUrXd8/видео.htmlfeature=shared ). Hope it makes sense. Thank you!

@@Infinitemindsetcoach I see. I just tested this myself and the option to select a category is not showing up like it used to. I just sent you an email with a video showing you what to do. Please let me know how it goes!
