So I realize Squarespace that all I've been  blogging Squarespace and twittering Squarespace about in the past 48 hours is Squarespace the new version of Squarespace. I just want to assure Squarespace you that I Squarespace think and talk about Squarespace more than just my job Squarespace in real life.

Sometimes, I talk about BOOBS.

Ok, well, maybe I talked Squarespace about boobs WHILE TALKING ABOUT MY JOB Squarespace but, whatever.

Also, Squarespace I love working with Christa Squarespace and if she ever goes Squarespace to work anywhere else, Squarespace I will cry. Squarespace. The end.

Hello again, Squarespacers. We've talked a lot these past 24 hours, hmm? Between my personal email and support tickets, it seems a lot of you are wondering how you actually make the switch from V4 to V5. Quite simply, everyone is already on V5, the entire system is now V5, but in order to use ALL the features, you will need to choose a new, V5 template. That's it. Nothing else to do, just choose a new template, and you have all the V5 goodies.

That being said, you DO NOT have to switch templates, you can stick with your V4 template, edit and add content just as before, we aren’t taking anything away from you, you just wont get a few new things V5 has to offer.

Below is a link to a video walk through showing you exactly what upgrading to a V5 template looks like made by the awesome Tyler Thompson. (Thanks Tyler, have I mentioned lately that you kick ass and I love you in a strictly professional and non-threatening way?)

If you're seeing anything wonky in the new Squarespace interface -- CLEAR YOUR CACHE! This is resolving a huge percentage of issues and hiccups, as  your browser may have files stored from v4 that can conflict with v5.

Below is a guide for all the major browsers and how to clear the cache:

UPDATE: A number of issues have been patched over the last 24 hours -- just to be sure you have them all -- clear cache and refresh!

Finally home from the Blogher conference and trying to adjust to the time zone change.  Just completely weird to get up at five in the morning for a four hour flight and arrive home at three o'clock in the afternoon.  

Blogher was amazing and there's at least six posts about it rolling in my head right now... but more important things take priority at the moment. Like Squarespace v5! It's here! It's here!

I'm crazy excited.

If you're already a Squarespacer, head on over to this post about all of the fantabulous improvements that have been made to the system. You might have to take a break or two in-between... it's a doozey!

Tell me what you love, hate, can't understand, can't believe is so easy... everything. I wanna hear it. User experience is where it's at, yo. You have my ear.

Blogher is right around the corner, and I’m crazy excited. The convention not only rocks, but I get to see people whose faces I miss an awful lot. A bunch of you have switched to Squarespace since the last event! I’m looking forward to hearing about your experience and how we can improve it.

If you’ll be in attendance, don’t miss the “Beautiful Blogging and Positive Posting” panel on Saturday, where I am humbled to join Kyran Pittman, Alyssa Royse, Jen, and Lucrecer Braxton to talk about the positive things we do on our blogs, and how your blog can also be about love, trust, positivity, hope, empowerment.

I’ll have limited quantities of these uber swank posters designed by the uber talented Tyler Thompson -- first come first served.

I won’t be doing a CSS lab this time around — the chicks at Blogher like to change things up each year — but if you see me don’t hesitate to hit me up for any help or advice. :)
