Cards, filters and pages: the journal gets organized fb674cf

FEATURESITE The Hornet Bay blog menu — a row of tag filter chips above the journal entries

Eighty-four entries in, the journal needed a filing system. Four upgrades this push, all about getting a story in front of you — and getting you to the story:

  1. Every post has a proper Twitter card. Each entry’s page already carried its own title, description and screenshot for shares — now the few image-less entries fall back to the squadron crest, so a pasted link always unfurls with art. X, Facebook, anywhere that reads the meta.
  2. Instagram joins the share bar. There’s no web share dialog for Instagram (they like it that way), so the button does the honest thing: copies the entry’s link and tells you it’s ready for your story or bio. Six buttons and a copy-link now ride under every post.
  3. The journal paginates. Ten entries to a page, newest at the top, with a pager at the foot — eighty-four entries came to nine pages. Page position lives in the address hash, so a link to page 5 is a link you can share.
  4. And a filter menu. A row of tag chips — FEATURE, AIRCRAFT, SPECS, GRAPHICS, MERCH and the rest — sits under the header. Pick one and the journal narrows to just those entries, paginated the same way; the tag rides the hash too, so filtered views are shareable links. The canonical tag shelves at /blog/tag/… remain for the crawlers.
