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 (user experience).
A blog is useless if the reader can’t find anything.
