  Is there anyway to make a page of categories and a page of archives? I don’t want separate widgets on my blog but rather a page to be dedicated to categories and a page dedicated to archives.

  I did search through the forum and just couldn’t find an answer.

  Thanks for your help!!

  sure, just go create a page and at the bottom where in says page template, just choose archive, and click publish and now you will have a page thats up and running.

  I made a sample archive page to show you what it looks like, Im thinkin’ about having one too.

  @life – please provide us a link to your wordpress.COM blog. And consider linking it in your user name as explained in the sticky, 8 Things, at the top of the forums.

  @aw1923 – not all themes have the page templates.

  why not just pick a new theme. Day Dream theme is very similar to your current blog and has the archive option (I know because I tried it out on my other blog).
