How to customize Squarespace blog title font
This tutorial was recorded in Squarespace 7.1 and will not work on legacy sites built on version 7. For more information, visit insidethesquare.co/themes
A blog post title in Squarespace is designed to match your Heading 1 font style assigned in your font menu, but with a little custom CSS, we can make it anything you want it to be!
In the tutorial video below, you’ll learn what specific codes you can use to change the color, font weight (boldness), font size, and even the font family for your blog post title.
The codes used in this tutorial are below, but make sure to watch this step-by-step tutorial closely, so you understand how to use them!
Why is everything !important?
We are overwriting what you’ve assigned to that specific text type in your Site Styles menu, so we need to say !important at the end of every value to make sure that the browser program knows to use our code.
What about the blog title on the blog post list page?
Replace .entry-title with .blog-title
What about the blog post title in a summary block?
Replace .entry-title with .summary-title but keep in mind that this will work for ANY title in a summary block, and not just a blog post.
How do I do this to ONE blog post, and not all of them?
On the individual blog post, click the blue plus sign, add a code block, and paste your custom CSS between style brackets like this: <style> your code </style>
