Mulleted
by kapil
Hmmm… I thought the main page was getting too damn long, and also people didn want to read all of the older content. So, I mulleted the main page. So now, the page shows 5 most recent posts and then gets tired and spits only post titles with hyperlinks. Nifty, eh?
Have done this through PHP code in template. Maybe making a plugin for this will be a good idea!
Here is a very good discussion on ‘blog mulletization’ on Jon’s blog.
Looking great!
You should post the template that you used for this…people have been asking me how to do the mullet in WordPress…
Mullet Blog Layout: Now in WordPress
Kapil Mohan has implemented the Mullet blog layout in WordPress. And he’s also released the code for how to do it. This is something that people have been asking me for for months now, but that I’ve been too (busy?…
Mullet Layout: A user-friendly front page

This is an awesome idea (Jon recommended I check it out) but there’s 2 buts …
1. I use WordPress’s hosted service. Can I use the mullet there? I don’t think we have that much control, right?
2. It seems to me that mullet is the wrong term to use. A mullet infers short on top and long at the bottom. Wouldn’t that be shortened recent posts and long old ones?
I reckon this is more of a mohawk. Long on top and short down below.
Rick, feeling picky (;
