Description

Currently on the new [version of the blog](https://matrix.turbo.fish/blog/) it's hard to see a chronological list of all posts, or those in a particular category. I can show posts in a specific category with a couple of clicks, but (a) this isn't super intuitive, and (b) they don't appear chronological, nor in any particularly sensible order that I can tell.

For example, if I click [This Week in Matrix](https://matrix.turbo.fish/category/this-week-in-matrix), then [(See all Category)](https://matrix.turbo.fish/category), it shows me *all* categories, rather than just the category I clicked. Then, when I go down to the This Week in Matrix section and click that, it takes me to the first page again, showing all blog posts inline rather than a list that I can easily read.

Check how category results are selected and ordered, then verify that the chosen category shows only its posts in chronological order and provides an easy-to-scan list.
