This is the Nomadic Backpacker Post-Index. All blog posts appear here. In the manual transition from Weebly to WordPress, many posts did NOT make the cut.
There are different opinions as to whether a blog needs an index. In my view, it improves the UX, the User Experience. A blog is useless if the reader can’t find anything.
I have set the page to noindex because it contains too many links, which makes it look spammy, and some posts, like the border crossing posts, appear twice in the country list and the border crossing category.
