ELA seems to be a pretty good WordPress plugin. I’ve never had an archives link on my blogs, because I don’t think it’s of much interest to most people. Still, one might occasionally want to check out what was going on b in the d. Extended Live Archives lets you create a dynamic archive page, so that instead of the usual list of years and months you only need to devote a simple link to the function.

Let’s try it out. The link (“archives”) is in the group of tightly bunched links near the top of the left sidebar, between the right reading tagline and the drop-down categories menu. (The page links are separated with bold superscript periods.) So what were we doing last October?
