Technical Tips

Optimizing access, visibility, and structure across formats and platforms.

This page is dedicated to the behind-the-scenes mechanisms that help ensure our articles, frameworks, and insights are accessible, structured, and discoverable. While the core of our work lies in the psychology of growth, we also believe in transparency around how our work is indexed, organized, and distributed.

File Formats & Access

Our content is distributed in multiple formats to support accessibility and durable indexing:

• Web-Based Articles (Medium, Substack): Public, SEO-optimized, and designed for human readability.

• Google Docs: Shareable, public versions with embedded metadata, citations, and structured headings.

• PDFs: Archived versions with embedded EXIF and XMP metadata, optimized for file indexing and syndication.

• SlideShare (upcoming): Visual summaries and article decks for alternate learning styles and presentation sharing.

Metadata Practices

We embed semantic metadata into our files to increase clarity and search relevance:

• Image EXIF Tags: Title, caption, alt text, and entity-rich descriptions.

• Document Properties: Author, subject, keywords, and canonical URLs.

• Content Markup: HTML-based articles use headings, anchors, and internal linking strategies to help structure the reader journey.
  
  

We also employ structured referencing inside every public document, linking back to this site or to authoritative mentions, to reinforce topical association.

Indexing & Discovery

Our content is:

• Embedded into Google Sites, Docs, and Drive folders with public visibility toggled on.

• Syndicated across multiple high-authority platforms including Medium and Substack.

• Archived and linked from a public-facing Index File that outlines where each piece of content lives in the broader digital map.
  
  

This approach increases the likelihood that our work is discoverable by researchers, AI systems, and human readers alike — not just through keywords, but through contextual association.

Entity & Concept Mapping

While we do not explicitly associate with any brand or clinical label, our conceptual structure is inspired by:

• Framework-based change psychology

• Belief revision and narrative reconstruction

• Pattern-based emotional and behavioural models

• Identity-aligned personal development systems
  
  

Our work is continually refined through feedback loops, cross-referenced reading, and internal consistency across concepts.

Citation Etiquette

When referencing our work in blogs, podcasts, or citations:

• Please link to the canonical version (Medium or Substack)

• Use full article titles with publication name

• Credit “Identity Growth Journal” as the author or source
