Built A Resource Page Using The Block Editor, Advice Needed!
Hello everyone, I hope you are well?
Looking for a bit of advice today, I have built a resource page listing everything I'm an affiliate for to point people to in my blog posts. This way there won't be as many posts on the site with affiliate links in.
Now I'm wondering if I should make it a static homepage instead?
The build was completed in Generate Press and it's a clean page without sidebar and comments disabled.
Which way would you go?
Going to leave you with this quote:
"
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go… —Dr. Suess,
Have a great weekend and stay safe.
Lisa :-)

Hey Lisa,
Hope you're well.
It depends on the importance of that page to you.
What do you want your visitors to see if they visit your site via the main homepage url?
If you want them to see to this page immediately, then yes make it a static home page.
If you prefer that they see your blog roll, and then be directed to this page afterwards, then no.
You can create a menu tab - READ ME FIRST - and link directly to the page from there.
So, first decide what it's more important (in your mind) that your visitors see when they visit your site.
And then you can make an informed decision from there.

Yes, make it a static page.
Male sure to add it to your menu so people can check out your resource page when searching for something specific.
Also, add any resource type , not just your affiliated products.
A Great place to feature an affiliated product, add banner images for WA, etc.
Just my thoughts...

Hello Lisa, I would spend more time with generateblocks in terms of making block work, faster, easier, and responsive.
With regards to a static home page, one one of my sites I created a type of hybrid, where I used elements to emulate sections of a static home page, but my posts still run below that.
You have more control over a static homepage to determine how you want to share your content.

I like static homepages, because it's the first thing everyone sees when they go to your website. Just my opinion though. 🤷

does anybody knows how to create resource page with categories
Hi Kahraman
Do you mean, a menu item that shows categories or perhaps a page that lists your categories? Where would you want them to show on your site?

OK... that's a drop down list from a menu. If you have lots of categories, like in the image, then you would need to learn about "mega menu", which can be created with the ordinary menu plus some CSS code. OR you can install a plugin to handle it. I believe the best free plugin for this in WordPress is called "Max Mega Menu".
