Title of second blog post

A new paragraph can have a different Paragraph sytle…eg Heading 3 like this paragraph.

This will split our blog post into two columns. The size of the columns can be adjusted by dragging the blue line that appears when you hover over the space separating the columns.

The two columns cannot be adjusted independently…making one column wider makes the other column narrower. The full width of the blog post MUST be filled with content.

This is called the ‘Classic Editor’, as opposed to the ‘Fluid Engine’ editor.

Another text block

Text below spacer

Another text block 2

We can add more blocks by clicking the blue + sign that appears when we scroll over another block. For example, here is a Button block…

….and here is an Image block…

Second blog post image description

And another para.

But…

In a Blog Post we cannot layer content like we can in other Fluid Engine pages. We can only move content blocks next to other blocks, or above/below them.

The background colour and line border of a block can be changed by hovering over the border until the ‘hand’ icon appears, and then clicking.

For example, we can drag this text block up to the left or right of the other blocks in the post. Hover over the blue box surrounding this text block until a ‘hand’ image appears, then drag the block around, watching for a blue vertical line to appear, then drop this block there.

We can make more columns.

But I couldn’t drag this text block to the left side for this…I had to drag it to the right side.

I think the limit is 12 columns?

In this first text block created by Squarespace we can type anything we want…it defaults to Paragraph 2 style. The text editor bar appears above when typing, and can be used to change all the usual text qualities such as Bold, Italic, Colours, and so on.
