Common Posts page

[janhoy]

Introduce a common "Posts" page that lists all News, Security-news and Blog posts chronologically.

The page will be the only one linked in the header menu.
It will have links to (existing) news.html and blog.html on the top.
Clicking a title on the posts list will bring you to the existing location of the post/blog, so no broken links.
The posts page has pagination.

New page:

Existing blog page (with a back link):

Existing news page (with a back link):

I considered also folding in the "SECURITY" menu here, but that one is more than just security posts.
What we could consider is

• Add a new security-new.html page, and add a link to it on the new "Posts" page
• Remove the posts at the end of security.html, and instead add a link to the new security-news page. It only displayed the last 20 anyway

Nice work Jan!

The code for this all looks great!

The only feedback I'd offer is on the naming: I don't think "Posts" is terribly clear as an entry in the header-bar or as the title for the umbrella page. Wdyt of maybe "Announcements" or even keeping "News" as the umbrella page title? (If we keep "News" as the umbrella term, the "sub-content-types" could be "Announcements" and "Blog Posts")

+1 - regardless of whatever names we end up landing on.

It would be a bit weird if the menu says "News" but the page name is posts.html, and if we rename the sub cateogry "News" to "Announcements" it would be (a bit) weird to keep news.html. And I don't want to break existing URLs, so I deliberately kept news.html, security.html unchanged and added posts.html.

I agree that "Posts" is not the best name.

Are you folks OK with using a different name in menu than in URL? I.e. label the menu "News", even if the page you land on is not called "news" and contains sub menus "Announcements", "Security", "Blog", where the announcements page has news.html in url?

I see what you mean; that is kindof "weird" and I wasn't really thinking about the link-breaking problem when I suggested the above.

I'd be 👍 with the alternative you suggested (where the menu name doesn't strictly match the URL). Though if someone with more web experience comes in to say that's a bad idea, I'd defer to their experience. I'm pretty out of my element here.

"Feed" instead of "Posts"?

FWIW I'm indifferent, and +1 to either path described above.
