An archive page for all posts?

  Hello!
  Not too long ago I started using a new theme (Minimum) and I have it set up so my front page displays just some of the most recent posts (without the option to navigate to older posts). In my menu I have listed my categories/tags to help people explore my blog.

  It occurred to me today that it might be nice to have an option to simply “View All Posts” rather than selecting a specific category or tag to browse. I’d like this View All Posts page to display the same way as my current category archives pages do, with excerpts and thumbnail images and all nicely formatted by my theme. (Here’s an example: http://design-vox.com/tag/interior-design/)

  The [archive] and [display-posts] shortcodes don’t display the posts in this way. Is there some simple way to do this that is just escaping me?

  Thank you for your help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Read-access to the premium themes forum is now open to all users so you can search there. The premium theme forums are at http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/ with separate sections for each theme. http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/minimum

  If you are not successful when searching there is a link for the specific Premium Theme support forum for your theme under Appearance -> Themes in your blog’s Dashboard, but do note that the premium theme must be active and you must be signed in as the user who purchased it in order to see it and post to it.

  Okay, I didn’t realize this was a theme-specific question. I’ll try over there.

  In the event that the theme designers tell you that Minimum archive display is NOT different from the other themes, then you will arrive back here and we will tell you that what you want is a “no can do”.

  Oh hey! I had pretty much given up on this but suddenly this morning it occurred to me how one can do this. I’m not sure if all themes have this feature, but with mine if you click on my name where it is displayed as the author of a post it takes you to an archive for every post that author has written. And since I am the only author of my blog, that’s everything! :)
