main entry are at once both the best answer and the most extra work
(because now you're writing some amount of words that aren't part of
the main entry at all and won't be seen as part of it). I think your
approach of adding single-sentence summaries to your titles works great
on an archive page, but I'm not sure it'd make for a good front page; it
strikes me as a little bit too minimal.</p>
<p>(This leads into a big ramble about blog front pages that I'm going to
punt to an entry rather than try to wedge into a comment.)</p>

That's at least partly because my blog entries tend to be on the long side, and I want to limit the length of my blog's front page. Your entries tend to be relatively short, so this isn't as much of an issue.</p>
