Tasks: Display Recent Blog Posts on Homepage
Implementation Tasks
1. Update Homepage Template
- Modify
layouts/index.htmlto query recent blog posts - Add Hugo template logic to fetch 3 most recent posts from blog section
- Filter posts by current language context
- Sort posts by publication date (descending)
Validation:
- Template syntax is correct (no Hugo build errors)
- Recent posts query respects language context
- Exactly 3 posts are retrieved (or fewer if less exist)
2. Implement Recent Posts Section UI
- Add semantic HTML structure for recent posts section
- Include section heading (translatable: "Neueste Beiträge" / "Recent Posts")
- Display each post as list item with title link and date
- Apply Bootstrap classes for consistent styling
- Add appropriate spacing after description section
Validation:
- Section heading displays correctly in both languages
- Post titles are clickable links using
relPermalink - Dates are formatted using Hugo's date formatting
- Bootstrap classes match existing site patterns
- Visual spacing separates description from recent posts
3. Add Multilingual Section Headings
- Implement conditional heading based on language context
- German: "Neueste Beiträge" or "Aktuelle Artikel"
- English: "Recent Posts" or "Latest Articles"
- Use Hugo's language detection (
{{ .Language.Lang }})
Validation:
- German homepage shows German heading
- English homepage shows English heading
- Heading style matches other section headings on the site
4. Test and Verify
- Build site with
hugocommand - Verify German homepage (/de/) displays recent German posts
- Verify English homepage (/en/) displays recent English posts
- Test with different numbers of blog posts (0, 1, 2, 3, 5+)
- Check responsive layout on mobile viewport
- Verify all links navigate correctly
Validation:
- Hugo build completes without errors
- Both language versions render correctly
- Edge cases handled (0 posts, < 3 posts)
- Links preserve language context
- Layout is responsive and accessible
5. Performance Check
- Measure HTML file size increase
- Verify no new HTTP requests added
- Confirm build time impact is negligible
- Optional: Run Lighthouse audit
Validation:
- File size increase < 2KB
- No additional network requests
- Build time difference < 100ms
- Performance score remains high
Dependencies
- Task 1 must complete before Task 2
- Task 2 and 3 can be done in parallel or sequentially
- Task 4 requires all implementation tasks (1-3) complete
- Task 5 can be done after Task 4
Notes
- Keep implementation minimal and focused on title + date only
- Use existing blog post querying patterns if any exist in the codebase
- Ensure null/empty checks to handle cases with no blog posts
- Consider using Hugo's
.Site.RegularPagesor.Site.Taxonomiesfor blog queries
