A template for a data visualisation blog (and documentation) #1378

Thought I would put this out there as a feature request as it seems like an avenue where Observable Framework would be absolutely ideal.

The current getting started literature and the project skeleton do a nice job at addressing the requirements of a standalone data site (with pages and dashboards) but don't address what I think is a very ideal use case: creating a data visualisation blog!

An addition to the template might be something like a blogs subfolder within components with a couple of prepopulated blog posts blog1.md and blog2.md.

And instructions on how to configure a 'classic' blog homepage presentation (latest posts and post thumbnails on homepage with some metadata).

I'm making my website into an observable framework and haven't had time to make the features! Current draft: https://jaan.li

I would also like to see this. This would be a nice alternative to Jekyll.
