Subject: [PATCH] layouts: Allow specifying number of "Recent Posts" to display
 in the sidebar

Set the following param in your config:

  [params.sidebar]
    num_recent_posts = 5

Alternatively, delete or comment out the variable to disable showing
of recents. I should probably allow setting it to "0" to disable.
