This is great. I plan to use part of this approach (the queried pages plus a blade element) to show a feed of specific pages on my default view, i.e. the homepage -- the goal is to show a list of upcoming events pages there, for an at-a-glance view.

Looking forward to getting stuck in. I've got some background in MVC, but not Laravel, and this looks really nice and clean. Thanks for the super-clear tutorials!
