A listing of recent posts can be created in the left or right sidebar simply by creating a sidebar RSS feed of the blog post page. As well a list of blog categories/tags can be displayed in the sidebar
These content blocks can be sorted by recent first or recent last, or can be sorted by user’s who added or edited them, sorted alphabetically or sorted by some custom ordering.
Finally these content blocks can be enabled for discussion.
