mnml: Pinned Post Feature

At the behest of @josephaleo yesterday evening, I took the time today to add a new “featured” or “pinned” post feature to my mnml theme for Micro.blog.

You can update to v2.7.1 in your Micro.blog plugins area soon if not already.

Here’s how the feature works…

Say you have a category you always want the latest post to stay pinned to the top of your home page for, no matter how many other posts in different categories you may publish. It might – well, does – look something like this…

After updating to version 2.7.1, all you have to do is set your preferred category name in the new mnml theme setting, like this…

In this example on my sandbox site, the latest post in my “Featured Post” category stays pinned on the home page, no matter what. When I publish a new post in the “Featured Post” category, it then becomes the pinned post at the top of the home page.

The category can be anything you choose. In the case of @josephaleo, he wants to pin the latest “Podcast” category post on his home page to feature his latest episode.

If you like this enhancement, or would like to simply support mnml’s continued development in general, buying me a coffee is always a pleasant surprise.
