Add custom bullet points to text blocks and image blocks in Squarespace (7.0 & 7.1)



Published
In today's video, we'll be looking at how we can create custom bullet points for bullet-point lists in Squarespace, for both text blocks AND image blocks.
The process is fairly straightforward for 7.1, but not so much for 7.0, specifically when it comes to images.
However, there IS a CSS workaround you can use that's pretty client-friendly!
So, if you're interested in learning how to make this happen for your current or upcoming project, take a look at the tutorial.
