Archive list for a blog?

Rachel Hassinger

We are preparing a blog for our website and I am stuck on how to get the archive list to work.

I created a list display template for the Archives. I added the list to a web page and published it. I can see the months (Februrary 2009 and March 2009 and February 2009) and click on the links -- but the links are going to the very same page -- and showing all blogposts -- not just from a given month. Do I have to create separate web pages with list templates that specify by month? Or is it like pagination, where the code is supposed to automatically duplicate the page with the correct list? What steps or code am I missing?

Thank you in advance!

If you check out slide #16 from , you'll see that the archive links are of the form:

/path/to/list.html?start=MM/DD/YYYY&end=MM/DD/YYYY

Your job is to dynamically populate the dates for start and end. (See the preceding slides for details.)
