    Better blog filtering & search plugin for Squarespace *

    The Universal Filter plugin by Squarewebsites* is one of my most used plugins across all the sites I design, as it can be used for so many different things (including galleries and ecommerce stores!).

    For blogs, I use this to create a more streamlined category filtering system, and the search bar works way better than the native Squarespace search function.

    Display more summary block posts plugin for Squarespace*

    The Lazy Summaries plugin from Squarewebsites* enables you to load more than the usual limit of 30 items in a summary block (expanding it to up to 250!).

    This means if you’re using a summary block to display your blog posts you can display 100s instead of just 30 (you might choose to do this if you’re using the Universal Filter plugin mentioned above as well!).

    Squarekicker* is the ultimate Squarespace customisation sidekick, as it allows you to edit the design of pretty much everything on your site (more than what native Squarespace allows) without needing any CSS code.

    For blogs, I love using Squarekicker as a quick way to resize images, add shadows & borders to screenshots and more.
