Navigation

Purpose

Navigation should answer one question quickly: where can visitors go next? Keep the primary menu short and move secondary links into groups or icon buttons.

Example

menu:
  home:
    name: Home
    url: /
    icon: fas fa-home
  archives:
    name: Archives
    url: /archives/
    icon: fas fa-box-archive
  about:
    name: About
    url: /about/
    icon: fas fa-user

rightside:
  readmode: true
  aside: true

Design guidance

• Put daily reading paths first: Home, Archives, Categories, Tags, About.
• Use absolute URLs for external profiles and mark them consistently.
• Avoid placing every feature page in the top menu; use groups when the list grows.
• Keep icon names consistent with the icon library used by your theme build.
