Why is it taking you 2 clicks to get here?

Short version: Web development is hard.
Long version: I wanted to include parallax scrolling headers for each subsection of the article because it’s so long, which can only be done with an Index format page. But I also needed to be able to include this article in summary blocks, which SquareSpace only allows me to do with blog posts. So you’d think I’d just be able to set up a 301 redirect for the blog URL to funnel traffic straight from here to the full parallel web page, right? Well SquareSpace won’t let me do that either. I know there are ways around this with custom code injections… but I’m not a coder.

It’s ok, I still love you SquareSpace. 🫶🏻
