<li>Display full content or the excerpt, or both!</li>
<li>Category descriptions are visible by default, if any.</li>
<li>Configure date format, link text or hide them all.</li>
<li>Use styles for every block, (refer the stylesheet in <code>locus/control/locus-style.css</code>)</li>
<li>Set display post orders, such random, by date, by author, comment count (popularity) etc</li>
