Blog archives

How do I had an archive to my blog?...i've tried using a new template and stuff, I've even tried sourcing them and copying the relevant bits into my template but I can't do it.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated Very Happy

Mine sort of ...appeared...
If you add an element in layout/format? template.... I'd better go and look to be absolutely certain of terminology, but then 'add' an element to your sidebar, I think archive is a named possibility... and voila.....

Does that make ANY sense at all? I think not....

I know what you mean debs but my blogger account is on the old style and i don't getthe add the elements option...all have is edit html, customise template but then I lose eveything (and i've tried this)...arrrgh if I hadn't messed with it inthe first place!!

I may transfer my posts to a new blog...if i do will everyone have to change their links to me too...bum

Linz don't worry - I was old style blogger (although I thought I'd updated months ago ) and I went over to the new style a few weeks ago to accommodate the crafty threads 'n' yarns blogring thingy. It was really simple, and I didn't lose everything at all although I thought I would. And the elements in the sidebar are so easy to add it's untrue.

Try it, you might like it! Very Happy

right I have a blog archive and it does take you back to the older posts....but it has changed the background and everything....but only on the archived posts....

just to say...i've twiddle it a bit and I think I have done it...don't quite know how but I just kept saving bits and thankfully I had saved the original template.....geeze
