How to Wrap Text Around Images and Create Pull Quotes on Squarespace
In this article, you will discover different methods to improve the visual attractiveness of your Squarespace blog posts. You will learn how to wrap text around images to make them smaller. Additionally, you will find out how to create a quote effect by positioning specific text within other content without relying on Markdown blocks or custom CSS.
Wrap Text Around Images
When uploading images on a blog post page with the classic editor in Squarespace, the platform automatically displays them in full width.
To reduce the size of an image, simply click and hold over the image, move it around. The blue colored background guideline indicates where the image will be placed.
Release the mouse click once you are satisfied with the placement. You can further change the image placement by dragging it as you like.
This simple method allows you to resize images without any additional formatting.
If you encounter an issue with a vertical image occupying too much space, you can easily adjust its display size by dragging it to the left or right while hovering over and dragging the side guidelines.
This technique ensures that your images fit seamlessly within the viewable region of your page.
Wrap Text Around Statements
Let's discover how to prominently display a specific text alongside other text to create a quote-like effect to draw attention to key phrases or statements. This technique is known as a pull quote, where text wraps around a highlighted quote.
You can also visit the Squarespace official website page for method of creating pull quotes.
To achieve this with a simpler method, click on the Plus (+) symbol and insert two spacer blocks above and below the target text.
Now hover over the edge of text block and wait for the hand symbol to appear. Click and drag the text block to move it around the page. Release the mouse click once you have positioned it where you like.
To resize the text quote, click on the side guideline and drag it around - as shown in the video demo.
You can also change the alignment of the text in the pull quote and adjust its size.
To enhance visibility, consider using a custom color background behind the text to make the quote stand out more on the page. You can also apply rounded corners to the highlighted text block.
