The new Squarespace iPhone app is another example of what makes Squarespace great. It works, its feature rich and its fancy looking. Its got a multitude of features to use, like Posting offline and managing multiple Squarespace accounts. In this video, I will show you the ins-and outs of the Squarespace iPhone app based on 2 days of use and 2 days of “wow”.

Pros - The app seamlessly integrates the Squarespace experience into the palm of your hand. Also the look of it will please even the most snotty web designer. The app is feature rich with website stats, offline posting, management tools and photo uploading.

Cons - The app can run slow at times, and can seem unresponsive. This appears not to be an issue on the iPhone 3GS, due to its gain in speed. Also I experienced 1 crash while using it, this is probably due to it being version 1.0 (and there is always room for improvement.)

Well fellow Squarespacers, it's finally here! Apple finally came through and after months of reviewing and accidentally uploading the beta, the real app in live in iTunes.

This app is perfect for a Squarespacer who has a blog or just wants to check their stats on there page. Features include Blog management, site stats, posting blogs, preview, multiple accounts, editing post, even uploading multiple images in real time to your site.

Many users like myself have been waiting for this app to come out and I'm happy to say it's amazingly simple, smooth, and easy to use program that just works. For God sakes if you have an iPhone, check it out because it's FREE. Of course you do need a Squarespace account but if you don't, try the 14 day free trial on the site, and if you want 10% off every monthly payment, use our coupon code t3chh3lp.

As much as i love it, there are three things i wish it would have. First for stats, I wish it would say if the view were unique, page views, or robots like it shows in the picture. Also I am a editor for this site but not Full account, I'm only an add-on and for some reason I can't add it on my accounts. Third I wish i could re-size photos and select where they are in the text rather than have all the photos at the top of the post.

All in all it is a great program I would have easily paid for but because the good people at Squarespace are so nice, it's FREE -- Get it here

Squarespace iPhone app is Done - Waiting for Apple

Updated on Sep 29, 2009 by Brandon Davenport

Yay! It's here... Almost.

Squarespace has been known for their persuit of perfection. Everything those guys touch turns to Web 2.0 Gold!

It has been a long time waiting for the iPhone app and squarespace has been getting alot of undeserved heat. Around mid July, Squarespace put their iPhone app in Apple's grimey hands and after 3 weeks or so, people started to get antsy.

"When will it be out?" Was splatterd all over Squarespace's community forums. Alot of questions went un-aswered and people got border-line angry.

What Happened?

When Apple starts the proccess of getting an app into the app-store, it can take a long time. In squarespaces case, 2 Months (so far) and there was yet more bumps on the road.

A while after the app was submitted, the oh-so-sharp Apple guys published Squarespace's BETA app (which we can all agree is perfect anyways) and that got the hype up to a whole new level.

Once word got out that some lucky people got their paws on the BETA app, everyone was even more assured that it was going to be good.

When is the Squarespace iPhone app coming? Very soon...

I was looking at my twitter feed and I noticed that squarespace had a couple tweets, specificly saying that the app is on its way very soon. Now I am sure you are all very exited about Squarespace's new iPhone app, but it has been a while.

It's because of Apple and the app store approval proccess that the app has been "Coming soon" for such a long time, NOT Squarespaces fault.

Hey SS lovers,

I was searching for this recently and found something cool, How to have a "Main" post or the most recent post, with compact, "mini" older posts under it, sort of like digg. I have implemented it into the site. Enjoy!

Its great for blogs that have 5 or more entries a day.
See an example at http://t3chh3lp.com

CODE

Put this in your custom css section

/* Style the first journal post on the page */
.journal-entry-wrapper:first-child
.journal-entry {
background-color:#ffffff;
}

/* Hide the body and post-body tags on all posts */
.journal-entry .body,
.journal-entry-tag-post-body {
display: none;
}

/* Show body and post-body tags on first journal post */
.journal-entry-wrapper:first-child
.journal-entry .body,
.journal-entry-wrapper:first-child
.journal-entry-tag-post-body {
display: block;
}
