Squarespace has some awesome blog features built right into the program, but one pesky thing we can’t change is the order of the text on the list. It’s built to display the metadata, the title, then the excerpt. But what if you want the metadata to be last? Or maybe the excerpt first? Totally possible thanks to some custom CSS. 🙌
In the tutorial video below, you’ll learn how to change the order of the title, excerpt, and metadata so your layout blog grid layout looks exactly the way you want it to. 😎
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!
.blog-basic-grid--text {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}.blog-excerpt {
order: 1 !important;
}.blog-title {
order: 2 !important;
}.blog-meta-section {
order: 3 !important;
}
