Description

Currently, the list of blog post titles and their descriptions that appear on the Mesos homepage is updated manually, requiring an individual to update the news section of `source/index.html.md` manually. This should instead dynamically update and display the most-recent 5 blog posts.

This change will require editing the website. Proposed patches may be attached to this ticket. It may also require changing the website homepage from a .md file to .erb in order to execute ruby code.

As an extra, additional metadata may be useful to display including release information (links to release notes, a summary of the post for display purposes, and blog post announcement) – tickets tracking this additional metadata include MESOS-2440, MESOS-2441, and MESOS-2442.
