Title: Blog page

Branch for https://trello.com/c/lFThuFW4/36-blog-listing

I'll basically repeat my commit log messages in more depth here.

tldr; - read the logs

I opted to use a page template for the blog page but we can certainly use the index or archive approach if desired. I kind of like keeping it as a page just for the ease of flexibility, but whatevs.

I ripped out the functionality from the home page news listing and popped it into a partial. Added a little bit of logic to juggle the differences from home page to blog listing, mainly, pagination settings.

The home page will stick to the 3 posts as it already was but the blog page will default to whatever the read settings are in WP.

The styling has been kept very minimal - really, the same as the home, sans the "updates" headline. There is a simple navigation below the post entries that read "Older Entries" and "Newer Entries". Please change that to whatever sounds best. Minimal styling just to float the two links.

To implement the changes, simply add a new page and use the Blog template.
