  Brand new WordPress.com user here.

  I’d like to be able to display a page on my WordPress site which is an index of all the posts on the site, showing just the post titles which can be clicked to go directly to the post itself. I’d like the posts to be listed under their respective categories, hierarchically.

  Is this doable?

  Thanks in advance,
  Rajeev

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

  Yes, manually. There’s no way of automatically doing it.

  You can create an an unordered list of all posts –from most recent to earliest post–,
  on a page. by inserting the short code

  [archives]

  into the HTML tab of the page editor..
  and it will automatically update that list with each post.

  As Raincoaster is pointing out… to do it categorically you would have to do it manually.

  There is a manual workaround of sorts that will provide an index page by categories but it will not auto-update. > Create a Site Index > http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#create-a-site-index

  Thanks for the responses.

  TimeThief — The “Create a Site Index” workaround only creates a page which lists the categories, not the posts within the categories. Am I missing something?
