Gallery / Interviews

Interviews should be dated to reflect the interview date, not necessarily the published date (instructions below).

The most recent interviews are featured on the homepage and the main gallery page, so there's no need to select the "Featured" option when creating these posts.

Duplicate the Template

Select the "Drafts" tab
Click on the Template record and select "Edit"
Don't publish or edit this record!
Select the "Duplicate" option at the bottom.

Change the name

Replace "Copy of Template" with the name of the interview

Replace the article image

Select the place holder image and click "Edit"
In the popup editor, select "Remove"
Click the empty area and upload the image that should appear at the top of the interview article
You need to make sure and wait for the progress bar to finish before clicking "Apply"

Change the Article Text

Scroll down below the image and edit the article text
This can be anything, any style, and can include other images and widgets using the Squarespace editing options, but the "City, ST" label should be left at the top in order to keep consistency across articles

Change the thumbnail image

Select the "Options" tab at the top of the editor popup
Select the "Remove" option for the thumbnail image
Upload the proper thumbnail image
This is the image that will be shown in the gallery briefs on the homepage etc.
It should probably be the same as the main article image, but doesn't have to be
Like the main article image, wait until the upload progress bar is finished before exiting the popup editor

Change the URL

For interview posts, it's probably best to use a format like "year-name"

Change the Excerpt

The excerpt should only have the city and state
Adding more text will throw off the styling in the main gallery page

Save & Publish

You're done!
Click the "Save & Publish" option at the bottom of the popup editor
Selecting "Save" will create the record but will not make it available on the website

(Optional) Edit the published date

If you need to backdate an interview, select the record and click "Edit"
In the popup editor, click on the published date in the bottom right
Edit the date/time and click "Save" to exit the editor
