Adding a blog from your template to your Squarespace website

Many SquareKicker Templates come with a blog consisting of pre-built page layouts so you can start writing blog content immediately, if you wish to have a blog on your website. Blogging is simple with Squarespace. If your template comes with a blog, it will include a blog page (called Blog Overview) and blog posts (filed under Blog Content). The blog page is the landing page for your blog, and displays a list or grid of blog posts.
