Index nav and "back to top" button

Hi Cargo Team,


I would like to ask a few questions, I have been trying myself to do the following with no luck.


1. Change index ( at the moment I have just changed the text colour to white so it appears unseen )

As my 'feed' page is going to be personal projects classified by date. Could I have a index that is not thumbnails but just text. Displaying month by month as an index, enabling the viewer to click on that month to see what I have done in it?

So basically have an index without the thumbnails?
Would I have to then put the month and year as the title of each 'project' or is it a filter?
Something similar to this? http://kozaburo.com/index Is this feasible?

If this is I would then like to change the place of the index to left of the page.


2. Is there a way to have a 'back to top' on the feed page? running up the right of side rather than just at the bottom. And also as my contact is within the feed is this possible if I have this under my work to have a "TO CONTACT" so that I can place the contact at the bottom of the feed


Cheers.
