If you're new to adding code, here's a couple rad resources to check out :: Ghost Plugins, and Thirty Eight Visuals. Not only do you risk breaking your website but in my honest opinion it can make your site look messy very quickly, if you're using all kinds of social sharing plugins and things that show up on the front end of your website.

I begged Squarespace to help me (even though technically its not on them to help you when you install custom code), and literally all they said was 'WTF is all this code, take it out and your site should work, and if not we can help from there'. I was using all kind of timer plugins, social media plugins, extra designy CSS coding + sooo much more.

That won't actually do you any favours, or cut you any corners. I know it can be frustrating when Squarespace might not have the font you want to use installed, but creating text blocks as images then just throwing them into your site is the most shortcuty thing you can do. Why? Cause first of all its lazy, and second, the text won't be responsive. Thing #2 not to do :: Insert large text blocks as images
