Much faster home page updating for Micro.blog-hosted sites rolling out now. Also, moving to a separate “Archive” page in the navigation and away from pagination. Feedback welcome. (This is a first step. Better year/month organization will come later.)

@manton What does “away from pagination" mean? Do you mean the JavaScript-based infinite scroll that you see at a lot of media websites? Please do not do that.

@clonezone Definitely not the infinite scroll! That is the worst. No, what I mean is the "next/previous" links to page through a set of posts, which doesn't scale well for thousands of posts. Instead there's now a separate archive page (and maybe sub-pages later).

@manton Good start!

@manton love the archive idea! Pagination can get pretty crazy.i think the archive doesn't differenciate longer posts enough though…

@smith Thanks, we can definitely improve the archive from here. I agree about long posts.

@manton How do you access the Archives page? Do you need to create a new /archives page and leave it blank (similar to the about page...)

@kaa It will automatically create it next time you post to your site. (Might take a minute to fully appear.)

@manton Hmm, ok not sure what's happened, but I posted something which is not showing on on my home page (although the individual post page is up) and no archive either unfortunately.

@kaa new posts took a long time to show up today for me as well. I assume it’s something to do with all the changes today.

@manton Still not appearing. I tried posting something new and that also didn't turn up either (on the site at least, the post appeared in the timeline instantly).

@kaa Thanks for letting me know. It looks like I broke one of the themes in yesterday's update. Fixing now and I'll make sure your site is updated.

@manton digging the idea of the archive page (kinda looks like how I’ve tweaked the landing page on mine); got to see if there’s a means to do breakdown by month (month-name as subheading, anchor-links to go to a specific month, etc.). This will be helpful going forward nevertheless. Many thanks for adding this.

@manton I think my site might be broken as well. Posts appear in the feed, but homepage not updated.

@furstenberg Very likely the same problem, which is now fixed. Should update the home page the next time you post or if you edit any site settings.

@mchlmc Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to start with a way to re-order the Archive link, and then see what other changes are possible.
