  Hello — Is it possible to create a static page containing an automatically created list of (linked) blog post titles in chronological order for wordpress.com?

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

  Hi Ian,

  This is definitely possible. To do this, you can use the Display Post shortcode explained here:

  Display Posts Shortcode

  This code might be exactly what you’re looking for:

  [display-posts posts_per_page="100"]

  Let me know if that works!

  Actually, just one minor question Jeremy.

  Is is possible to have the date for a blog post appear before the title in a list? The default for the display-posts shortcode is to append the date at the end.

  I’m taking inspiration from the archives pages on the Panel wordpress.com theme.

  Hey Ian,

  As far as I know, there isn’t a way to put the date before the post title with the WordPress.com Display Posts shortcode. I searched the support for the WordPress.org plugin as well, and didn’t turn up anything that would work:

  I apologize!
