Creating "Archive" Page
-
I am trying to create an “Archive” page on my menu where my blogs automatically go and are archived in chronological order. I’ve tried the WP instructions and can’t seem to do it — need more explicit help. Please take a look at my page and advise. Can’t seem to figure it out….help!!! Thx :)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool and you cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. There is no setting to reverse the order of blog posts on the main page for posts or on dynamic Archives, Categories, and Tags pages.
Readers arrive to read our most recent posts. In the case of my blog that means they don’t have to slog through over 800 posts to locate the most recent one.
We can create a static page and use the Archives shortcode to revers the order of display (see the last entry in the chart – asc, desc)

That’s not what I am asking. Over time I suspect I will have more than 5 blogs. I want to have a link on the top menu that says “Archive” and will allow my readers to scroll through my blogs that don’t appear on the home page. Ideally, but month. How do I do that?

You can create a custom menu and add Archives pages to it.
