Okay, we are going to move quickly here so get ready…
*If you have never used the Blog feature on Squarespace, please take some time to familiarize yourself with the process using this guide.
1. In your Home Menu click Pages, and then select the + icon in the NOT LINKED section.
2. Select Blog from the pages menu.
3. Title it with your course name. (This will be the framework in which your course is built.)
4. I have titled mine My Dummy Class, for the sake of this tutorial.
Once you have done this, you are now ready to start setting up each lesson.
Each lesson will be it’s own Blog Post. So if you are familiar with using the Blog feature inside of Squarespace, this part should be easy for you.
(If you’ve never created a Blog Post in Squarespace, this guide will help familiarize you.)
Select the arrow next to your Course Name.
This screen will come up next.
Now, you can begin adding Posts or “Lessons”.
Be sure to tile each post as “Lesson 1- Name of Lesson”, like I’ve done in this image.
Feel free to begin adding your content into each post!
For now just click Save, not Save & Publish.
(but don’t sweat it if you accidentally hit publish. These links are not yet viable or linked to anything on your website).
Don’t worry about them coming up out of order! This will not be what your table of contents looks like!
Before moving on, I want you to create a new POST for each lesson- fill in your titles, as well as the basic/rough content for each lesson.
Inserting Images
I would also recommend Inserting some high-quality, brand-consistent images throughout your course to brighten and break it up a bit!
I’m going to assume that you already know how to insert images in your posts. If not this Squarespace Tutorial will guide you.
These are my two favorite websites for high-quality, royalty-free, FREE images:
Inserting Videos
We will cover how to insert videos into your course in one of the BONUS sections, so for now just mark out where in your course you would like to insert a video (and what it will be about).
