I went to Squarespace to start up my new site, but the very first problem I encountered is that Squarespace doesn't work well with VPNs. I have my Surfshark VPN on all the time; when I initially went to Squarespace, the site simply didn't load. I paused my VPN for five minutes, and sure enough, Squarespace appeared. But as soon as the five minutes were up—poof. Squarespace again refused to load. I consulted the Google AI god about why this might be happening; the god listed a slew of possible reasons, half of which I didn't even understand, thus giving me something new to think about. The simplest solution, for the moment, would be to turn off the VPN. But at some point, I'm going to want to turn the VPN back on again. Anyway, expect more updates through the coming week. I can say that Squarespace is serious about using AI for website design. To the extent that the setup method is flexible and modular, I'm going to have to do what I can to personalize my website and keep it looking human. It's a process. Am I going to have to just keep blogging here while I find other alternatives?
