No, that's a feature. I have many blog articles that I don't want to
get public right away. Sometimes there is content missing. Sometimes I
want to pass the link to someone to give an OK before publishing. It
also allows to automatically publish entries in the future.

I fixed that problem already a few days ago, but didn't update the
squeak server yet. It should work now.

Somebody changed the navigation tree, so that it does not display
posts. That can be changed back in the environment. Or we could add a
special tree that always shows everything when you are logged in as
admin. I do this on my web site not to have to show everything for
users.

Displaying a list of post titles can be simply implemented by
embedding a children component in the blog itself.

Yes, probably. A blog is really a blog like you have for example on my
web-site. However what you want could be implemented on top (or
reusing parts) of the blog.
