On today’s meeting discussion it’s been decided to use manually created excerpts which would contain the point of the article in one sentence. Short and concise. more meaning, less space. Join discussion here: https://github.com/WordPress/HelpHub/issues/239 ### Posts Order on Archives This was unsolved for a long time. We decided it’s important to order posts according to its content complexity so it resembles “Step 1, Step 2..” format or, if this doesn’t apply, to order according to post’s “importance”. As this is difficult to apply automatically to all categories we decided to use Post Attributes order and intentionally create order which we will specify in WP_Query. As some articles have more than one categoryCategory The 'category' taxonomy lets you group posts / content together that share a common bond. Categories are pre- defined and broad ranging. assigned, in which it might have different “importance” and order, we decided to make larger steps between posts using the same logic as menu items in dashboard. So two posts in a succession would have 10 places in between, rather than 1. This should also help with ordering articles published in the future.

It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. throughout the whole visible area. The rest of Handbooks solve this by hiding the sidebar altogether. [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) suggested to place search form and single posts navigation instead of sidebar. For this single posts navigation to be useful, the order of posts (above) should be logical and intuitive. [@estelaris](https://profiles.wordpress.org/estelaris/) said that she’s working on templates and will discuss this issue on [#design](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/tag/design/) team meeting this Wednesday, as this is effecting all WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users.
