We thought the new year would be an appropriate day to launch an exciting new feature called Series!
A month or so ago, Hellobee Hostess Andrea asked if there was a way we could better group together blog posts on a particular topic. This has been a big concern of ours, as the blog has so much great content… but it’s kind of hard to find the good stuff. Tags and categories don’t really do the trick — since they’re just ordered by date, and not in an order that tells a story.
But now we’ve programmed a feature called Series which will allow us to order a bunch of blog posts on a particular topic. For example, we have a 7 part Series on Baby-Led Weaning which features all our best posts about baby-led weaning!
Each Series page will have a custom introduction, and then each post in the series will have some custom text summarizing the post. Then when you click into a particular blog post within the series, it will have a module at the bottom that says: “Hellobee Series: Baby-led Weaning, Part 1 of 7” and have links to all the other posts in the series so you can navigate easily from post to post.
All of these series will eventually be organized under a new tab in the header, so you’ll be able to find the best Hellobee content in one place. It’ll take us a little while to organize all the content that’s been published on Hellobee thus far into series. But eventually we hope to have over 100 series on every ttc, pregnancy, and parenting topic under the sun!
Please click around on our Baby-Led Weaning series and let us know what you think!

Fabulous idea! As a TTC hive member, I often see these great posts and think that they’ll be incredibly useful later on. This definitely makes it easy to find them. Will the series have a tab at the top of the page?

@SweetMamaM: Definitely!
Once we’ve created a few dozen Series, then we’ll get a tab up there!!

I LOVE this idea! I think doing Baby Led Weaning as the first one is a great idea, too. What parent doesn’t struggle when it comes time to start feeding solids?
Ps…I just read every single BLW post.

Thanks so much for this amazing feature Mr. and Mrs. Bee – is it possible to find all the series in one spot? I often have trouble finding them and have to bookmark the links once I have found them. Also – is there a series on starting with solids? I know there is a BLW one but would love to know whether there is a more general solids one.
Thanks so much again!
