  Hello, I was hoping to put a date on each of my blog posts when they were published and have a menu at the top of the pages showing the dates of each blog, so a visitor to my blog can easily see all blog posts by date at a glance? It looks like I have to create an archive block? Any assistance would be great

  Hi there – To be quite honest, the theme you are using now for your site is not well-suited for your goal.

  What I would recommend doing is looking at an alternative theme like this one called Penscratch 2: https://wordpress.com/theme/penscratch-2

  Take a look at the demo site: https://penscratch2demo.wordpress.com/

  Notice it has a similar simple layout, but it has the “sidebar” on the right. In that sidebar you can place and Archives Widget which will display the months of the year for which you have published posts.

  Here is an example of the Archives Widget: https://wordpress.com/support/widgets/archives-widget/

  That would be a very prominent way to accomplish your goal of being able easily see all blog posts by date at a glance.

  To switch to Penscratch, click this button from the first link I sent you above: https://d.pr/i/XkKaMH

  Then you can follow the instructions on the Archives Widget guide to add that to your sidebar and get that working.
