People always ask how to make an archive page for Wordpress blog. An archive page that link to your archive and which is in a Wordpress blog menu bar. So I would like to give several solutions to do it. First, it depends on you how you want to do that. It can be done by the plugin and using a php code. Most of bloggers use the plugin but there are many who just don’t want to use a plugin so they use this php code:
<h3>Browse by Month</h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('show_post_count=1'); ?>
</ul>
<h3>Browse by Category</h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_cats('hierarchical=0&optioncount=1'); ?>
</ul>
I hope you wonder where to put that code. First you need to make an archives.php file. At the very top of that file paste this code:
/*
Template Name: Archives Page
*/
?>
Don’t forget it because this is necessary. The archives code will be below this code but you will need to find out where because I’m not discussing it here right now. Well, last step is to create a new page. Click add new page, then attributes and choose your archives page template, save it as Archives and that’s it.
And there other method is to use Wordpress plugin called Clean archives. This method to display an archive page is a good solution if your blog is old enough and has lots of posts. Now you can decide what method to use. Just choose which you think is easier for you.

Recently, there has been a good deal of investigation by the
American FTC against blogs and website promoters
for not stating advertising income, or potential
relationships with advertising networks.
What are your ideas concerning how this could potentially effect
the blogging community?
