To make text show on a Squarespace 7.1 slideshow, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Squarespace account and open the website editor.

2. Navigate to the page containing the slideshow or add a new slideshow section.

3. Add or select a slideshow block:

   • Click on the "+" icon to add a new section.

   • Choose "Slideshow" from the section options.

4. Upload your images to the slideshow.

5. Add captions or text to each slide:

   • Hover over the slide image and click on the caption area labeled “Add a caption.”

   • Enter your desired text, such as a title, description, or call to action.

   • Use formatting options to adjust the text style (bold, italic, links).

6. Customize text appearance:

   • In the slideshow settings panel (click the gear icon on the slideshow block), adjust text position (top, middle, bottom).
