This sounds fine -- I would be in favor of just keeping the heading as
"News". I don't suppose there's an issue of keeping Blogs on top.
What had been done in the past is to "manually" move older items to the
news archive at /news/index.html. We need to decided if we want to continue
to do this. A different discussion -- maybe even involving a different way
of doing this -- a news feed.
So, +3 from me on this and to me this means going back to the old way for
now. (Offloading items as the list becomes too long).
