How to add announcements
Login at https://squarespace.com
Click on the 'website' button in the dashboard
Click 'Pages' in the left panel,
Click 'Scheduled Announcements' in the left panel for announcements that are date specific. Or click ‘Recurring Announcements’ for ones that are general and have no specific date.
In the panel, click the '+' icon.
Add a title for your post in the “Enter a post title...” field. Titles must be 200 characters or fewer.
Your new post includes a Text Block (where it says 'Write here…'). This is where the text for the post needs to go.
Next, we need to add a graphic.

Web search for relevant images. Pick something that is freely usable.
To add a graphic, click the insert point below post text. The insertion point is a plus sign that shows up by hovering the mouse over the text block you just filled out.
