Good summary. Date-based navigation just doesn't work for general sites. I
think that Greg's site for his kids (who are very cute, btw) is an example
of where a date-based system makes sense, but for general sites, who
actually uses the calendar to go back more than a few days?

I would create an AQP page to return the last 10 message titles, set the
cache to 60 minutes, create a template with an insertquery macro and then
insert that sub-template into the main template page, say in a right hand
column.
