Behind the Blog

While Simply Put Psych serves up psychological insights as the main course, the web design, code, and SEO that hold it all together are the knife, fork, and condiments all served on the table that is the Squarespace platform.

Behind the Blog is where we document the practical side of building and maintaining this site, one frustration or limitation at a time. From adding tables and custom formatting to improving SEO and making the site work the way it should, this section shares the real tools and hacks we’ve used to make the blog not just readable, but reliable.

Here you’ll find:

  • Step-by-step guides to common Squarespace problems

  • Code snippets and custom tools we’ve built to solve them

Whether you're a blogger, a Squarespace user, or just curious how things work behind the scenes, this is where the psychology of content meets the logic of code.
