I just noticed this morning that WordPress has added some options for our blog archives. It’s not a perfect fix, but it certainly improves upon the very limited archive displays offered by some WP themes.
I’m still playing around with the code, so you’ll probably see some changes on my new sitemap/contents/archives page (tab appears directly under the Pied Type header). If you are so inclined, you can see a list of every post/title on this blog (more than 500, according to my stats). I know that will make your day!
