Day 11: a homepage widget

This is a thing I wanted for some time now. Since my weblog is now more a timeline than a blog, long posts disappear fast in the stream of short ones. But since the long posts hold their value longer, I wanted to show them longer.

Also, since I started with this #100daysofindieweb-thingy, I also started to blog in English, which I never did before. My stream of posts gets flooded with English posts.

Today I made a homepage widget. It only shows on the main page, and I can put different parts in it. It now contains a blog list for both Dutch and English, a list of blogposts with #100daysofindieweb, a stream of likes and bookmarks, and the most recent photo post.

This way I can provide a summary of what’s going on on my site. It gives me a framework, where I can always swap parts. The #100daysofindieweb tag, for example, is now a good thing to have, but is less needed 100 days from now.
