    Improving my blog

    Hi,

    I just finished implementing a basic blog (1 blog page and many child articles). The current setup is running a macro to summarize the articles on the main page, and each summary leads to its own blog post.

    What I would like to do on the main page is having a side bar with links to filter the posts by categories (on a different page for each category), and have another filter block by month. Ideallly, I would have something like this: 2014: January(links to january 2014 posts), February, (links to february 2014 posts), and so on.

    I am not entirely sure what the best way to implement this is. Currently I lean towards adding filters as parameters in the url (e.g. /myblog?articles=feb2014). What is the easiest way to ready parameters through a razor macro?

    Alternatively, is there by any chance a package available which would fully meet my needs and that I have missed?

    I am still debating what the best way to implement this and was wondering if you had experience with similar features in the past?

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Cheers :)

    Hi Alex,

    maybe this package is a good starting point for you:
