Back in February I installed the Newsletters plugin for Micro.blog — @manton’s own — and then completely forgot about it. Today I stumbled across it again and finally dug in. It creates a dedicated /newsletters/ index page listing all your past issues. Neat! Except it came with absolutely zero styling. Bare bones.
So I styled it to match the rest of the blog. Took some back and forth, but it came together nicely. There’s even pagination on the single newsletter view. And when you click one of the newsletter posts, it shows a preview of exactly what was sent to subscribers.
The other page I finished today was my rating scale. It started with stumbling across a post by @JohnPhilpin — he had a link to his own review ratings page and I liked the idea enough to borrow it as inspiration and build my own version.
His page and mine are similar, but I added a recent reviews section at the bottom — a short list of my latest watched films and shows.
Always fun to tinker with Micro.blog. There’s always room for improvement and new additions — and honestly that’s half the fun.
