The "older posts" feature that can be found on the bottom of the homepage is one of my favorite aspects about Pepe's new design work. I think of it as an organic solution to a number of problems:

1. Where do new readers go after reading all homepage posts?
2. How do infrequent visitors catch up with posts?
3. How does one keep the homepage lenth somewhat consistent in a blog?

Three posts are shown on the homepage all the time, older posts are filtered through the elegant system. If (>3) posts were made this month, they are listed individually, with a comment count and link. Then below this, months are listed for this year. Then years listed.

Much of the functionality to make this happen is not currently "built-in" to the MT scripting language, but because MT stores it's pre-rebuild data in MySQL, you can really querry for any bits of data with a bit of work. Also rediculously helpful was the Compare Plugin for MT, it's a great tool for tinkerers.
