Sticky Notes

Did you ever wonder about the way to pin your posts on top of the index page? Check this NexT theme’s official doc for making sticky posts on a Hexo blog.

Hidden Posts

Besides, if you want to extend the blog to be an archive to collect your private articles, install this package. As mentioned in the package readme file, you need to manually insert the following parameters into the site’s config file:

# hexo-hide-posts
hide_posts:
  # Name the field in the front-matter block as you prefer
  filter: hidden # I name the field "secret" instead
  # Generators which you want to expose all posts (include hidden ones) to.
  # Common generators: index, tag, category, archive, sitemap, feed, etc.
  public_generators: [tag, category, archive, sitemap] # In this case, I still want my private posts to be shown in every place except for the home page of the blog.
  # Add "noindex" meta tag to prevent hidden posts from being indexed by search engines
  noindex: true

If you want to have control beyond what the package brings, check this post “hexo+next下隐藏文章与其导航|hexo+next-hidden-post.” It shows how to create a private navigation page for you to much more easier browse your private posts.
