How to create unique text-shadow effects in Squarespace
In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to add a shadow to any text style in Squarespace with some clever CSS code!

A few key things to note:
+ This works in any version of Squarespace and any theme
+ You need to know the “code name” of the text style you are working with! Header text goes by H1, H2, H3 and H4 but 7.0 doesn’t have an H4, so if you use that code nothing is going to happen! 😂 Stick to the top 3 if you are on a Brine, Bedford, or any other 7.0 site. And if you have no idea what the heck I mean by that, check out this article to find out what version you are using, that’s critical info if you want to keep working with code: https://insidethesquare.co/theme-families
+ Shadows can be combined with a comma, and read as follows:
text-shadow: (horizontal offset) (vertical offset) (blur radius – optional) (color)
+ You can use any color type including HEX, HSL, RGBA, or websafe color name. To learn more about those options, visit https://insidethesquare.co/colors
