Apple Annie’s WeblogSetting ad hoc post metadata for `summary`.
After my success with adding post-level metadata for social media image previews, I decided to get fancy and add a summary metadata for each post to provide more context to listings such as post-list. This has worked fairly well and you can see it in action on the Archive page. The steps were very similar to the social media image, so check out that post if you haven’t seen it.
All three of the ad hoc post metadata I’ve added relies on a default getting set at the default post template in configuration. That seems to be working well, but it could get inadvertently deleted (per post), and there doesn’t appear to be a way to set a global default for fallback if the local level doesn’t set it.
This prompted me to ask Adam about this today on social.lol:
Edit 1: Adam was quick to reply!
And my answer:
So, combining that interaction with my “idea” above, I think I’m going to wait to make a decision. Of course I’ll continue to play around with ideas and if I make any more changes I’ll update here.
