ok but actually
1) still unsure how much i want to surface old blog posts. i like the appearance of a neat list of only titles and dates but i don't actually give my posts descriptive titles or even useful excerpts a lot of the time
2) i like fun metadata
3) mayhaps post discovery should be thru manual curation (‘related posts') and other links throughout the site rather than the literal blog archive
4) idk where im going with this
