The angels have come down from heaven and finally blessed us with Read Me Pages.
“Read Me Pages?” you ask. “What the heck are you talking about Holly?! Have you gone mad!”
“Nope, I’ve gone happy!” I exclaim.

Free Squarespace 6 Trial for Everyone!
Free Squarespace 6 Trials | From Beta to Preview
I was able to start a Squarespace 6 trial today without an invite! Yeah! The signup process is very similar to v5 in that all you need to enter is- your name, email address, and subdomain to create a website. I just happen to be in the process of updating the Squarespace 6 template directory (errr, in all the excitement I’m still “in the process” of updating…so give me a bit to get the new stuff up please!) with the new theme variations and decided I’d go ahead and check out progress of the sign-up page. Lo’ and behold, I was able to create a new Squarespace 6 website. I even tested it out on another browser just to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. So get cracking everyone!

Using LESS for Squarespace 6 CSS Development
Rumor has it that Squarespace v6 will use LESS (client side method I assume) for CSS developement. Alex Ball at Developer Drive is doing a blog series on how to use LESS and why you will love it. I guess I’ll have to take his word for it.
Today, I’m proud to start a series of posts that will focus on LESS, the dynamic language that takes your CSS and puts it on steroids. LESS let’s you use variables, mixins, nested rules, and even functions within your CSS. It’s extremely powerful and can dramatically speed up your development. There is a little bit of a learning curve to it, but once you wrap your head around it, you won’t type CSS again without using LESS.
Check out the first lesson in the series- Learning Less: and Introduction at http://www.developerdrive.com/2012/04/learning-less-an-introduction/

Official Squarespace Designer using Squarespace v6
Official Squarespace Designer and Specialists
For those that may be getting frustrated with the nuances of Squarespace v6, I found one of the Official Squarespace Specialists using v6 not only for his personal site but also for his brand. He seems to have mastered the platform already! As many of you know, not all the features have been made available yet so it’s kind of hard trying to hack our way into getting what we want out of it. (Can I get an Amen?!)
