PERSONAL BLOG WITH TOPIC FILTERS

This blog puts the reading experience first: visitors can filter articles by topic and settle into long-form pages designed for focused reading. A separate writing area supports drafts and publishing as the archive grows.

Tags should reflect subjects that readers recognize, while article pages should make titles, dates and related writing easy to navigate. Decide how drafts become public and how older posts will be refreshed when details change.

WHAT THIS EXAMPLE SHOWS

A reader-focused blog pairs tag-filtered article browsing with long-form pages and an editor for drafts and publishing. Use the sample to name the audience, the main action, and the smallest useful first version. Cleo HQ then helps turn your own brief into a product plan and a working build.

QUESTIONS FOUNDERS ASK

How should I tag articles so readers can find them later?

Choose a small set of subject labels that describe the article and match likely reader interests. Avoid giving each post a one-off tag that leads to an empty archive. The example filters the homepage by tags; review the full list periodically and merge labels that mean nearly the same thing so browsing remains helpful.

What makes a long-form article page easier to read?

Use a clear title, readable line length, descriptive section headings, and enough spacing to distinguish one idea from the next. Readers should not have to fight decorative elements to follow the writing. The example emphasizes long-form pages; test a full article on both a phone and a large screen, and check that links and images support the story.

How should a personal blog distinguish a draft from a published post?

A draft should remain private to its author or editor until it is ready, while the public archive should show only the intended final version. Agree on who reviews a post and whether a publication date is scheduled or immediate. The example includes drafts and publishing controls; preview the live page before sharing a new article.
