Description

Summary

Enhance the website generation so that the blog index page is automatically populated based on the contents of the blog folder.

Details

When an author needs to add a blog post, they need to update the blog index page as well as add the new post. This can be tedious for new contributors and in general is error prone.

We need to add the ability to autogenerate the blog index page when the website is rendered.

This might be possible through the use of a JS function that is registered with Antora and called when it runs. The JS function could generate the blog index page from the contents of the blog directory and information in each of the blogs.
