+### Taxonomy Archive
+
+If you have the luxury of using Jekyll plugins the creation of category and tag archives is greatly simplified. Enable support for the [`jekyll-archives`](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-archives) plugin with a few `_config.yml` settings as noted in the [**Configuration**]({{ base_path }}/docs/configuration/#archive-settings) section.

+### Home Page
+
+Minimal Mistakes ships with an [`index.html`](https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/blob/master/index.html) in the root of the project for displaying the 5 most recent posts --- with pagination. It does this by assigning `layout: archive` in the YAML Front Matter and including the following Liquid in the body:
+
+```html
+{% raw %}<!-- start index.html body -->
+{% include base_path %}
+
+<h3 class="archive__subtitle">Recent Posts</h3>
+
+{% for post in paginator.posts %}
+  {% include archive-single.html %}
+{% endfor %}
+
+{% include paginator.html %}
+<!-- end index.html body -->{% endraw %}
