For more personal/random posts [http://planet.nottinghack.org.uk Planet] may be a good fit. It is a stream of the latest blog posts by makers who have opted in.


If you want the post featured on the front page carousel, you need to take three extra steps:
The [https://github.com/NottingHack/website Nottinghack / Website github] contains the list and code for Planet:  


# Write an Excerpt
* ../planet/nottinghack/ - contains config file for details of bloggers
# Tag as homepage
* ../public_planet/heads/ - contains the head icons
# Upload an image
 
=== Write an Excerpt ===
 
The text on the carousel is taken from the Wordpress Excerpt. If you don't define one, wordpress will take the first few words and it'll probably look terrible!  To write your own, make sure you have an ''Excerpt'' box below the main post editing box. If not, click ''Screen Options'' at the top of the screen and tick ''Excerpt''.
 
Write your excerpt in this box before you publish the post.
 
=== Tag as homepage ===
 
When you are tagging your post, inlcude the tag ''homepage''. The carousel only includes posts tagged this way.
 
=== Upload an image ===
 
Finally, the carousel needs an image, obviously!  Your image needs to be 590 x 400 pixels. Set it as the featured image using the option on the right hand side.  If you can't see the featured image box, click on ''screen options'' at the top of the page and tick ''featured image''.
