  Hello, My posts are grouped among half a dozen categories; there’s also a static Home page. If I look at Archives for, say, July 2014, I see ALL posts for July, not categorized. Can I somehow set things up so that I can see just the Archives for a specific month AND CATEGORY? Thanks for help! Ch.S.

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

  I’m sorry but that’s not the way the Archives widget works.

  You may want to create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages into it. Then every post you assign the categories to will appear under the relevant category page in reverse chronological order after the post is published.

  There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well.

  Wow, TimeThief, you’ve given me a lot to work with.
  It’ll take me a while, so I’d better thank you now rather than waiting!
