The "latest posts" section of the side bar is getting too full.

We'll want to do something about this. I'm not sure what that something is. Some ideas:

• Create an index page that lists all the posts
• Add a little more posts button to the bottom of the latest post section that expands out to more posts
• Truncate after some number of posts and link off to twitter (which lists all the posts)

@brownhead I like the idea of creating an index page for this that lists all the posts, and remove the posts from sidebar. So if we will do that the sidebar will be less in height, maybe it will not even need a scroll, and we will can see all the posts listed on the index page.

Is there any design of how the index page should look like with a lists of all posts?

I like the idea of having at least a couple old posts in the sidebar and then a "more posts" link to the index page.

@RiseLedger There's no design yet, and I'm not really sure of what it should look like. I think just a list of post titles + authors + dates would be pretty unappealing visually, but is probably the best way to go about it.

I could imagine a bunch of blocks with a title, author, date, and a short summary being easier to make visually appealing, and reasonably functional, but it also seems like a lot of work... So probably not the right route.

If you feel up to doing a bit of design work we can iterate here (posting pictures and trying to come up with a reasonable design). Looking around at other blogs that solve this problem gracefully might be a good first step.

@brownhead I'm not good at design, but I preserved the style from the sidebar and create a PR with what I manage to achieve.

You can take a look at the image below to see the result:

If you have any ideas of improvements, let me know. Here is the PR
