Home Page Is or Isn't a Blog Page

Tagged TIL, 11ty : Can't be all things at once

After messing around forever with adding full blog posts to the home page, I realized that's not a normal or obvious layout. You can't do that with Wordpress-you make the choice whether the front page is static or the first page of your blog with links to the next page.

I might can start from scratch in 11ty and build something that works, but with the current setup, the closest I can get is to list the latest ? (say, 5) posts on the page and optionally include an excerpt or the description (from front matter). That will work for now.
