⌘ Plugin: Home page photos
Manton says on 24 July 2022:
Hello, photo bloggers! I created a new plug-in that replaces your home page with a grid of photos and links for your other pages. No post text on the home page. Hope it’s a good start for people who want to go all-in on photos. Called simply “Home page photos”.
Update — a question:
Can I customize the theme like any other theme? I want to remove the "Follow at Micro.blog" links.
The answer:
You can hide that with CSS... Paste something like this in Design → Edit CSS:
.me .description { display: none; } -
⌘ Plugin: Font Awesome icons
I made a Micro.blog plug-in that loads Font Awesome in your blog, so it’s easier to add icons to blog posts or to use them in theme templates.
Update, 01 July 2022:
After I made the Font Awesome plug-in, I recorded a video about using it, including how Micro.blog themes work. There was a caching bug in the video, so wanted to re-record it after fixing it… But I don’t have time, so posting the video anyway! Enjoy, it’s on YouTube here.

⌘ Plugin settings parameters
Micro.blog plug-ins can have a settings screen to change config parameters. I’ve added a new field type “color” that I’m hoping will be useful to customize the design of more themes. Modern web browsers provide a color picker for these. (Example config for this screenshot.)

⌘ Link: Plug-in editing changes
At the Micro.blog Help Center an article by Manton on Plug-in editing changes:
I’m so excited about all the activity around new plug-ins and themes. However, some of y’all have noticed that the behavior around plug-ins wasn’t really locked down enough before we rolled out these features. So I’ve been working on fixing that.
This week I’ll be updating Micro.blog with a few changes that I think will make developing and editing plug-ins (and overriding templates) more consistent. I want to document them here for plug-in developers to have a chance to chime in if they have any feedback

⌘ Plugin: Shortcut from post to Micro.Blog timeline
As of 09 January 2022:
Wouldn’t it be cool with a shortcut from your blog post directly to its entry on the Micro.blog timeline? Like a “Reply on Micro.blog” link. You can have that!
