I just finished implementing a basic blog (1 blog page and many child articles). The current setup is running a macro to summarize the articles on the main page, and each summary leads to its own blog post.
What I would like to do on the main page is having a side bar with links to filter the posts by categories (on a different page for each category), and have another filter block by month. Ideallly, I would have something like this: 2014: January(links to january 2014 posts), February, (links to february 2014 posts), and so on.
I am not entirely sure what the best way to implement this is. Currently I lean towards adding filters as parameters in the url (e.g. /myblog?articles=feb2014). What is the easiest way to ready parameters through a razor macro?
Alternatively, is there by any chance a package available which would fully meet my needs and that I have missed?
I am still debating what the best way to implement this and was wondering if you had experience with similar features in the past?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Alex,
maybe this package is a good starting point for you:
