    I am trying to copy the style of the Carson template from Squarespace but I don’t know how to code. Is there a similar template that has the rollover copy feature that gives a preview photo of the page that it’s linked to? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello –

    I’ll be happy to help. You won’t be able to bring the Carson template from Squarespace to your WordPress.com site. Here’s a list to all of our themes wordpress.com/themes/ These are mobile responsive enabled.

    Can you explain a little more about this?

    Are there any other features you need?

    Hi Liz,
    I wanted to make it so that if a person took their mouse and hovered but didn’t click on the text a picture would appear in the background and it would be a full screen photo that would chain on the homepage linking the text to an alternate page.

    I’ve since moved on to use the Lodestar theme but I do have a few questions if you could help me.

    First, I would like to remove the rectangular shape behind the title of the page, so that it looks similar to the Pique theme style where the rectangles are straight across. Is there a way to achieve that look in the Lodestar design?

    Second, if I want to sell an e-book on my site, do I have to upgrade to make it PayPal ready? Is there a place to learn more about linking up objects to PayPal? Thank you! – Alanna

    I’ll need to take a closer look at this specific theme compared to Pique and get back to you.

    You can add a PayPal button to your site without any upgrades. Here’s how you do it:

    Good Morning –

    After taking another look I don’t think I am quite understanding your question about the ‘rectangular shape’ behind the title of the page?

    The rectangles around the panel titles is unique to Pique. We won’t be able to add that on to another theme. https://wordpress.com/theme/pique
