Subject: [PATCH] perf: include the latest posts in the "Recently Updated" list
 (#1456)

Improve the "Recently Updated" list to include the most recent (only one Git commit) posts.

This change has two benefits:

1. The post update list is consistent with the git commit timeline.
2. Avoid users not having a list of updates to show when they first publish a site.
