How to Change the Blog Thumbnail Image in Squarespace 7.1
UPDATED (AGAIN) APRIL 2021:
The cog icon is now gone, but we have two ways to access blog post settings (and the thumbnail).

It’s also a good idea to click over to the SEO tab and write a title and description for search engines. Also, if you’d like to add tags and categories, you can do that at the bottom of the General tab.
