How can I list my archives by title?
Note: This article is for classic templates. If your blog is using Layouts, this feature is supported as an option by the archive page element. (Select the "hierarchy" option.)
Ordinarily, archive links point to pages that contain a day, week, or month's worth of posts. However, if you have a lot of posts in each time period, it can be awkward for readers to sort through them all and find the ones that interest them. So some people like to make a title index of their archived posts, where each title will then lead to the full text of the post. That's what we're going to do here. Before we begin, you'll want to make sure that you have post pages turned on for your blog, and that all your posts have titles. I recommend monthly archiving so that you can fit more titles on a page, but you can use whatever setting you want for that.
Notes:
- You can add in other Blogger tags to this bare-bones version, if you want. For instance, you might add the
<$BlogDateHeaderDate$> - As with any template modifications, you should be sure to save a backup copy of your template before you start. Just copy and paste all your code to a text file on your hard drive, so you'll have it there as a replacement in case anything goes wrong.
