A Beginner’s Guide to Squarespace Calendar Blocks
A Squarespace calendar block can be used to display your events, blog posts, products, or even photos on a page in your Squarespace site.
Calendar blocks are perfect for displaying content in a visual way, but they can't be used for booking appointments.
You can use the calendar block to add details to date specific content, like descriptions and images to your events, blog posts, or products.
Calendar blocks are designed to be responsive, which means the size and layout will adjust automatically to make sure your calendar looks great on all screen sizes.
