  Hi

  Hi there,

  Your older posts are accessible from the “Older Posts” link at the bottom of the front page, and in your archives.

  You can adjust how many posts appear on your blog pages at Settings → Reading. However, we don’t recommend setting this number to much greater than 10 or so, since it may increase your site’s loading time.

  Thank you.
  I just changed my theme and it shows all old posts by MONTH- will that also slow down or not since each post is not listed.?

  thanks for your time.
  having fun!

  Hi Natalia,

  Nope — using monthly archives won’t slow anything down.

  By the way, you can display monthly archives on almost any theme by using the Archives widget:

  Good luck! :-)

  Thank you so much.

  Is there a way to REMOVE the search and RSS that is on my header? I don’t know if they are widgets but i cannot seem to be able to remove them (maybe they are permanent part of my theme i chose?)

  Thanks

  Not really. Those are a feature of the theme and pretty much stuck there. If you have a Custom Design upgrade, you can hide them via CSS.
