Description

First of all loving this theme, thanks for all your work on it!

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a second "posts" in a seperate tab. I would like to separate my normal posts and my longer project posts on the homepage. Would it be possible to show certain posts only on another tab.

For example, when I make a tab projects to only show certain posts there and not on the homepage.

Operations you have already tried

I looked into the collections but that does not really seem to do what I want.

Tried making an _projects folder and a projects.md tab with the content below. It just gives an empty page.

---
layout: home
icon: fas fa-stream
order: 5
permalink: /projects/
---

Anything else?

@svenvg93 check this demo

Thanks, that looks like what I'm trying to do. Just need to figure out how to also have posts on the main page.

Learn more about jekyll collections and you'll be able to do it...
I'll share a working demo if I get some free time next week

[svenvg93]

Thanks, I will check out collections more. It didn't look what I wanted in at first glance.
Your help is much appreciated!

You need to set a custom layout to the projects page, otherwise it won't work.
Try looking into the _layouts folder for examples

@SoumyaK4 The only problem I have is that posts with an image are not rendered correctly
