  Is there any way to set up a page that lists the titles of my blog posts in order with maybe the publishing date so that it is easier for people to go back and look at old blog posts once i have written a lot of them? Cause as of right now they just kind of stack on top of each other and it could make it difficult for me to go back and look at my first few posts once I am done with this blog in a few months time. Something that looks maybe like a news website or something of the sort?

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

  You can set up an archive page by following this tutorial found in our support files:

  Hope that helps. :)

  One more suggestion – tifanne83, thanks for chiming in! – you might also consider adding an archives widget:

  Is there any way to get the archive short code to display the date of the post off to the side or somewhere?
