  Is there any way to a have a list of all previous posts for readers to choose from? So far, I have found widgets to list a certain number of the most recent posts and a widget to search by keyword, but the reader may still have to page through several posts to find what s/he is looking for.

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

  You could make an index page with archives shortcode:

  Note: you can put the archives shortcode into a text widget as well, but with so many posts your sidebar will be very long.

  This shortcode will give you a bit more flexibility:

  Thanks! I saw the code for putting the titles in alphabetical order, by they come up in reverse alphabetical order. Is there a code to fix that?

  On the last row of that table is sort order which indicates you can use ascending or descending order, with the desc the default. Just change it to asc.
