Maximizing Homepage News Articles: Limitations and Solutions

[RMDave]

Is there a limit how many "news articles" we can feature on our website's homepage? I think I'm pushing it with 5 ... my "all about me", three recipes, and a sign-up form for my newsletter.

Is that it? Any ideas?

Yes you can only show 5 on your homepage and a total of 10 on the news article page (which includes those 5 on your home page).

You can have up to 10 'articles', but only 5 to "feature". Are you just trying not to have too much on there?I have:
"How to find the Outlet" (feature)
"Ordering for a Friends Show?" (feature)
"Sign up for my Newsletter" (feature)
Cooking Show RecipesThen I'll have the upcoming month's Host/Guest Special. But I only make it as ONE- I pull up the template for the Host Special, and then I'll cut/paste the Guest Special for that same month- so it's lower int he page. But I only do that if I'm trying to save space.I'd love to be able to have some Kitchen Tips in there as well, but haven't had the time.I haven't updated mine in awhile. I would probably make Kitchen Tips a feature, and the upcoming month's specials.

Naw, Bobbi. The limitation of 5 featured is what I was talking about. Thanks!

Hi there,As a pampered chef consultant, I can understand your concern about featuring too many news articles on your website's homepage. In my experience, it's important to strike a balance between showcasing your personal information and promoting your products and services.While there is no specific limit on how many news articles you can feature, I would suggest focusing on quality over quantity. Instead of overwhelming your homepage with multiple articles, choose a few that are most relevant and engaging for your target audience.Additionally, consider rotating your featured articles on a regular basis to keep your homepage fresh and interesting. This will also give you the opportunity to highlight different aspects of your business, such as new products, promotions, or customer testimonials.Overall, my advice would be to keep your homepage clean and organized, with a good mix of personal information, recipes, and promotional content. And don't forget to regularly update your website with fresh and relevant content.I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or ideas.Best,
