How to enable and disable comments on your Squarespace website - video tutorial

Let's talk about comments : do you love them or hate them?

Personally, I'm a huge fan of comments because I think they help make a blog post much more interactive and I love hearing from my readers. If someone wants to take the time to comment on something I've written, I figure why the heck wouldn't I let them? Obviously I'm not a fan of spammer/trolling comments so I don't publish those, but otherwise I encourage people to comment on my blog posts and get excited every time someone leaves a comment.

But I know that not everyone feels that way. In fact, I know lots of successful websites that do not allow comments! Or if they do allow comments, they have some pretty strict settings in place.

When it comes to deciding whether or not to include comments on your website or blog, you should think about what makes the most sense for YOU and your goals. There's no right or wrong answer here!

If you've ever wanted to learn how to enable or disable comments on your Squarespace website, or how to control those comment settings further, you've come to the right place. This video tutorial is for you!

How to add an Instagram feed to a Squarespace website - video tutorial

Put your hand up if you spend WAY too much time on Instagram! *raises hand in shame*

According to MediaKix, the average person spends about 15 minutes a day on Instagram... but if we're being honest, I bet that for a lot of us the number is WAY higher.

What does this mean for you? Well, dear friend, it means that you have a really great opportunity to build a relationship with your audience if you tap into social media - Instagram in particular!

I'm going to assume you already have an Instagram account, but now you're ready to integrate it further with your digital strategy. The first step is to connect your social media accounts with your Squarespace website.

Once that's done, the natural next step is to add an Instagram feed to your Squarespace website. If you've ever wanted to add an Instagram feed to your site (whether on a web page or in a blog post) but weren't sure how to do it, this video tutorial will show you how.

How to add and style a button in Squarespace - video tutorial

When you think of buttons, think beyond Benjamin Button and Brad Pitt's adventures in ageing.

Instead, let's talk about buttons in web design/development and how they are one of my favourite Squarespace features!

I use buttons on every single website I build and design for my clients. I love when buttons are styled with a pop of colour and stand alone without surrounding clutter because then they are much more likely to be clicked. Whether we use them on web pages or within a blog post, buttons are a wonderful way to highlight a call-to-action (CTA) that you want people to take.

Once you decide to add a button to your Squarespace website, don't forget to style it so that it matches your site's branding and aesthetic!
