Hi Reader,
We've made it halfway through 2024! Have you had a win this year and want to share? I'd love to hear it. Seriously, hit reply and let me know. I think we ALL need to hear about wins this year.
What's New with Me
There's something I'm itching to share, but I can't tell anyone yet and it's driving me nuts. But if you join Will Myers and me for our free Ask Us Anything session next Thursday we'll give you all the details! Come hang out, ask us about podcasting, business, or Squarespace, and we'll spill ALL the tea. Register here to join us live or to catch the recording.
I'll be in NYC later this month for the Affiliate Summit East conference. If you're going, let me know! And if you've been before, I'd love any tips you have.
And... I'm still posting every week on YouTube! (And yes, I'm counting consistency as a win.) A couple of my recent videos for beginners:
- βGet a tour of Squarespace pages.We'll walk through how pages are laid out, what they consist of, and how to edit them. We'll take a look at the header and footer that appear on every page, as well as the sections in between. I also show you how to add, save, and rearrange sections on your website.

What's New with Squarespace
10-year domain registration. If you're a planner, you can now register a new domain for 10 years through Squarespace.
More menu changes. You've likely seen even more changes to the menus inside Squarespace. I feel like every time I log in it's different! Rumor has it there's some testing going on and things will still be changing for a while, so don't get comfortable.
Donation blocks. ICYMI in my last email, there is a NEW donation block with more functionality and more styling options. This is a really nice feature update. (It doesn't apply to current donation blocks - you'll want to add a new one to see the updates.)
Disclosure: This email contains affiliate links. so if you click through and make a purchase, I may be compensated. There's no cost to you and I only recommend things I love.
