Subject: [PATCH] Allow configuration of recent posts on sidebar

By default it shows the latest five posts, but you can set this
property in your config to override it:

  [params.sidebar]
    num_recent_posts = 7

Still no way to disable it, as I don't understand golang's HTML
templating stuff yet. The Hugo docs are a bit confusing, but it
seems like conditionals are a bit tricky because both false and
0 return a boolean false... hmm.

See: https://gohugo.io/templates/go-templates/
