I’ve long wanted to create a special space on Davao Delicious to feature restaurants (as well as coffee shops, eateries, etc.) that I’d already blogged about. And now I’ve finally gotten around to doing so! What do you think of my new “When in Davao…” widget on the sidebar?
Featured posts on sidebar
For now, the purpose of the widget is to showcase the dining establishments in the city that I really like. By featuring them on the sidebar, my blog visitors who might’ve missed those articles will get a chance to find out and read about them. The 5 or so establishments I’ve already chosen will enjoy the limelight on my sidebar for a little while — until I figure out what else to do with the widget. The order in which each is shown is random.
I got a WordPress plugin called Featured post with thumbnail to help me with this little project. I’ve modified it, though, because the original version wouldn’t display post excerpts. I just might republish my own version of the plugin and share it with anyone who’s interested to use it… If I do, I’ll surely blog about the development (that is, tweaking) process over at The WordPress Evangelist.
It would be very rewarding to hear from you — maybe you have some ideas on how to improve or extend the widget? Feel free to leave your thoughts below. Thanks for reading my food blog!
Food in Davao is world class. You can never find the delectable food in Davao anywhere in the Philippines, but only in Davao.
Hi Blogie! A much better search engine would be really nice to have here. You know, a kind that lets you search with more details? Otherwise, you’ve done a great job with this foodblog. Kudos!
Yeah, I’ve gotten that request a lot lately. I’ll give it a try, but I can’t promise anything soon… But thanks for taking the time to leave your suggestion, Stepehen!
