I found this on another forum but after giving it a quick glance thought that everyone here might like a read as well.

Lots of good info.

Excellent article!! some very good points that we may know but don't apply or just get sloppy.

*notes to self*..do not blog about how silly it is that your boss is running for president.. of the US. :D

re: 10. Archive by topic.

Yeah, me too. :( But I completly agree with it. Being a blog surfer as well for a time I can empathize with the uselessness of date based archives, unless a great search function is included or other options are available. Easy access to what you wan is important and keeps you coming back.

Nice, 122 responses. I can't get past 10.

Archiving by date is a good thing if you use your blog as kind of an online diary.

Yep, definitely a good read.

So... archive by topic. Great. How? How do you get read of the date archives?

In your sidebar you'll have something that looks like this:<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&show_post_count=true'); ?>

Delete it
