Blog Post Full-Width Banner

What You'll Create

A full-width banner image at the top of your blog posts that creates a magazine-style header. The banner spans edge-to-edge above your content for a bold, editorial look.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace blog posts don't have a native full-width banner option. The featured image appears in a fixed location within the content area. This technique lets you designate any image within your post to become a full-width banner at the top.

Perfect For

Editorial blogs, Magazine layouts, Photography blogs, Feature articles, Story-driven content

What Makes This Different

This technique uses a keyword trigger (#banner in the image URL) to identify which image becomes the banner. JavaScript moves it to the top and CSS styles it as a full-width cover image. Works with both 7.0 Brine and 7.1 templates.
