Services Blog Management

The All Services blog database is a comprehensive filter-equipped list of all the activities that AAASD clients can sign up for, whether those signups are happening online or via an admin.

The basic steps in Squarespace are:

1. Open the All Services blog page from the Pages menu.

2. Duplicate the Template post.

3. Change the title, in-line post content, and/or button link.

4. Open the post settings, and adjust the URL, categories, and publication date. Do not add photos to the settings area of the Services posts*––only add those to the in-line area where the template has a photo of Michele.

* One possible exception: you may want to add a photo to the “Social” tab in the settings if you’re planning to promote that event or service on social media. That will give you an actual custom thumbnail in your social media link. The best dimensions for a social media thumbnail are 1200x640 pixels, or Squarespace will automatically crop any image you put there.

Admin Notes:

If you need to remove a service from your offerings, you have several options.

If the removal is permanent, you can just delete the post. Click the 3 dots to access the settings for that post, and select “Delete.”

If the removal is temporary, you have two options:

• In the post settings pop-up, navigate to the Options tab, click Status, select “Draft,” and save. When you’re ready to display it again, you can switch it back to “Published.”

• Leave the post live so that people know the service is still going to be offered. You may put a note at the top of the post telling site visitors that it will return at a certain point, but that isn’t totally necessary. This option is better for SEO, and Breely’s settings will automatically prevent people from enrolling in services that are not offered on those dates in Breely.
