New Blog Features: Tags and Better Discovery
Introducing tag-based filtering, related posts, and improved content discovery features to the blog.
New Blog Features: Tags and Better Discovery
I'm excited to announce several new features that make it easier to discover and navigate content on this blog.
Tag-Based Navigation
The most significant addition is a comprehensive tagging system. Each post is now tagged with relevant topics, making it easy to find related content.
What's New
- Tag Pages: Browse all posts with a specific tag
- Tag Cloud: Visual overview of popular topics
- Related Tags: Discover connected topics
- Clickable Tags: Navigate between related posts seamlessly
Improved Content Discovery
Beyond tags, I've added several features to help you find relevant content:
Related Posts
At the end of each article, you'll now find suggestions for related posts based on:
- Shared tags
- Same category
- Similar topics
Enhanced Blog Homepage
The blog homepage now features:
- Popular tags section
- Improved post previews with tags
- Better visual hierarchy
Technical Implementation
For those interested in the technical details, this was built using:
- Next.js App Router for static generation
- File-based content management with MDX
- TypeScript for type safety
- Tailwind CSS for styling
The entire system is statically generated at build time, ensuring fast page loads and excellent SEO.
What's Next
I'm planning several additional improvements:
- Search functionality
- Tag statistics and trends
- RSS feeds per tag
- Content recommendations
