Allow to Override Meta Title and Description
Previously, whatever you set as a page title will also be added as a meta title. Now, you have the option to override it. You can add the properties Meta Title and Meta Description to either a blog post or a page or even General Settings. Whatever meta title and description you add in those properties will be used as the meta title and description. If you leave them blank, the normal title and description will be used as meta title and meta description.
| Type | Previously | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Home Page | Heading and Subheading are used as the meta title and the meta description. | You can override these with Meta Title and Meta Description properties present in General Settings. |
| Blog Post | Page Title and Description property are used as the meta title and meta description. | You can override these with Meta Title and Meta Description properties present in that blog post properties. |
| Other Custom Pages | Page Title and Description property are used as the meta title and meta description. | You can override these with Meta Title and Meta Description properties present in that custom page properties. |
Changes in Hero and CTA Sections
Hero and CTA sections can now be added in this manner.
Simply create a Custom page and set the slug as hero. This page will be placed at the top of the blog page.
To create a CTA section that will appear at the bottom of all the pages, simply create a new Custom page and set the slug as cta. That page will be placed at the bottom of all the pages of the blog.
See the above screenshots for reference.
Make a different page as a home page
Now, it's possible to make a completely different Notion page as a Home Page.
To make any page (in Pages database) as the home page of your blog, set these 3 properties.
- Select
Customfor thePage Typeproperty. - Set the
Slugproperty ashome. - Uncheck the
Hideproperty.
You can always access your blog page from /blog
Visit yihuichan.com for example. The home page is completely different than the usual MDX.one blog. The blog for the same site is present at yihuichan.com/blog.
Make a different page as a home page
Right now, every blog is structured in the following way.
Home Page
– Hero Title
– Hero Description
– Hero Section
– Blog Posts Grid
– Pagination
– CTA Section
– CTA Title
– CTA Description
If we want to add some custom content to the home page, we have to either add it in the Hero Section or CTA Section.
Proposal:
Make a different page as the home page (or at least make it possible to hide blog posts on the home page).
This is quite a common use-case, where users want to have different content on the home page, and move the blog to something like /blog.
Revamped the website
So many things have been added to MDX.one since the launch in June. So, the website at mdx.one is completely revamped. It looks much better now showing everything the platform offers.
The user dashboard is also now moved to app.mdx.one.
So, to log in or create a new account, the user will have to do that from app.mdx.one now.
Revamp the marketing website
The landing page is up for a revamp.
- Separate the dashboard from the marketing site.
- Create a separate marketing site (home page, landing pages, FAQ page, etc) at https://mdx.one
- The user's dashboard will move to https://app.mdx.one
Customize Home Page with Hero and CTA Sections
Now, you can add Notion content to the home page.
There are 3 new properties in General Settings – Hero, CTACustom HTML.
Hero Section will appear at the top of the home page, CTA Section will appear at the bottom of all the pages.
Whatever HTML/CSS/JS you add to Custom HTML in General Settings will be applied globally to all the pages.
