The idea is that Tips would be less formal than posts or page. So it can be just few lines worth sharing.

Currently implemented using Collections, which is still experimental so a bit risky - the feature might gone later on. Collections also does not have paginations but we can work around it with this - jekyll/jekyll-paginate#3 (comment)

I'm not so sure about this tips thing. What happen when you edit the tips to a more formal wording? Should it be moved to full article? That would break the URL.

For me "tips" would be really short ones like 1 or 2 paragraph. We can have a section like tips of the day, or random tips, or have a scrolling marquee displays them :p

For less formal article, maybe we just put a marker that says "need editing" or something. What do you think?

Honestly, not sure too. What I really want to do is to exclude certain post from being in the front page index. This to avoid the front page being 'monopolized' by just a single author. As we still short on authors, the front page should project this site as having multiple authors.

I have look into excluding post from front page and what I can understand we can't do it without impacting the paging i.e the paging would go wrong when we exclude some posts.

In that case, why don't we remove author name from the front page snippets.
A simpler solution I think :)
