I’m trying to add an article archive that looks like the one on this site but I’m having trouble and I can’t find a plugin that will do it the way I want it. I know I need to create a new template page but I’m confused on what to include on that page to keep my site’s style (look/feel) around it. Can someone please help me? I don’t need a TON of detail… just an example… hopefully. 😀

I’m not sure how they’re achieving that (it is a WordPress site, though). You can try using Kalin’s Post Plugin which will make it easy to achieve this. I have a tutorial here:

Let us know how it goes.

I tried that and got the categories to list fine but I don’t understand how to list them by date or just a full list. Do you have any idea how that works? I’m sure its something simple I’m missing. 🙂

Use the “Order by:” menu at the top.

You have to select by a tag or a category. If you want all posts, you’ll need to select all the categories.

It is simple, but it’s not obvious. I found this plugin takes some fiddling with, but it’s worth the effort. Keep trying!
