Organizational gurus!
(Of which CoSo has many. π)
I'm trying to figure out the best way to represent my portfolio of nonfiction essays on my own website. Topical grouping? Just highlight the strongest recent pieces? Mass chronological listing? Basic linktree?
Anyone have a model they like/use and would recommend? (Many thanks!)
@ceorl Thanks for the feedback, Ceorl! All very useful. ππ»

The question reminds me of my working days, when people debated over the single most correct organization of information.
Always the eyes of the people paying the bills got the priority, but leaving the actual workers who needed to use the information in the lurch.
I always took the side that there was no single view that would suit all purposes.
Oh and so far I have seen little to like about linktrees. Maybe they have a retro appeal, looking like old school HTML pages
;)
@MLClark How are you sorting them on the website? With a graphic for each? If you can arrange the page so that what you feel are you strongest and most recent pieces are on the top, and then do the rest by topical grouping, I think you'll hit the best of both worlds.
@DevonEllington Great suggestion, Devon. I'll play around with that operating principle, thanks. π

Audience and purpose :)
I am sure you have multiple audiences, and purposes, so a blend.
I would think for promoting yourself and your work, best and latest should be front and center.
For usability, I would also have a topic grouping, which would also be helpful for selling yourself within specific realms, but also showing the breadth of your interests and competence across realms.
But I am neither a guru nor organized :)
