Sidebar

Purpose

The sidebar supports reading. It can show author identity, article navigation, popular tags, and site information, but each extra block competes with the article body.

Example

aside:
  enable: true
  card:
    enable: true
    name: Your Name
    description: Writing about web, design, and life
  toc:
    enable: true
  tags:
    enable: true
  siteinfo:
    enable: true

Practical defaults

• Keep the table of contents enabled for long posts.
• Use the profile card if the site is personal or author-led.
• Disable low-value counters until they contain meaningful data.
• Check the mobile layout after adding several sidebar modules.
