Thanks for the mention Wouter!
There have been a couple of other really interesting posts on this topic from Shawn 'swyx' Wang recently.
In this post, Sean talks about the fact that index pages seem kind of backwards and echoes your point: does it make sense to have index pages as reverse-chronologically sorted lists of posts when maybe your newest post isn't that interesting (as he says "people report writers block with blogs, particularly after a big successful post, because it’s almost impossible to consistently pump out bangers").
In this slightly earlier post he talks about how you can "shard yourself" to make it easier to overcome writers' block - particularly for writers who blog about different interests. However, I also think this helps your visitors find relevant content more easily. I really like the example of Julia Evans who breaks down her content by category on the front page so it is really simple to find stuff you're interested in. I also really like Terence Eden's blog - he has links to each month going back to 1987 so you can explore older content if you wish.
