The thing is, “the” archive page is designed to show a simple, custom-ordered list of links to all blog posts, not pages and pages of excerpts.
The archive page is designed to show whatever the theme designer wants it to show, so as far as Graphene is concernd, you’re right; for something simple, you will need a plugin. I like Kalin’s List Post plugin, which achieves something similar.
Like I said, the page on the codex that you linked to is mainly aimed at theme designers, but if you wanted to use that code, you could just drop it into a PHP widget and then use the Widget Logic plugin or a bit of PHP magic to make it appear on just that page (or a group of related pages).

Yes, you can. (And Josh is right–a lot of the info on that page is kind of old. But that page is really aimed at theme designers, not general users.)
If you use the correct permalink structure, you can have month and year archives pretty easily. Here are a couple of examples:
An archive for October, 2011:

An archive for 2011:

I’m not sure what you mean by “subject”; I think you’re looking for a tag or category.

March 16, 2012 at 12:37 am #26348Yes, it’s true: Google will only populate the first three Adsense slots it runs into, for the simple reason that they want their ads at the top of the page. If you want ads on the sidebar on the front, try using the alternate front page widgets.
It’s easiest just to use Graphene’s built-in Adsense options:
Graphene Options >> General Options >> Adsense Options
and enter the code you have there. (You don’t need to sign up with Adsense to use this; it will accept any code from any ad service.)
You can also enter that code in a text widget and put it wherever you want. See these tutorials on how to manage that:

Go to
Graphene Options >> Display Options >> Excerpts Display Options
and tick the box marked “Show excerpts in front page”
“Archive” refers to different things; the most common archives are tag archives and category archives. If you click on either of those things in a post (notice that they are links), it will take you to the archive for that tag or category.
