Well this is a very basic WP tutorial, most of you may know this already. Creating an Archive page is very important as it helps your readers by making all the blog content easily accessible on a single page. It also helps in indexing.
Check out my Blog’s Archives
There are many plugins / hacks available to create a simple archive on your WordPress blog but none as simple and clean as this one.
To Create an Archives Page for your Blog,
1. Download the Clean Archives Reloaded Plugin
2. Extract the files in the ZIP file using WinZIP or WINRAR and upload them to your wordpress_directory/wp-content/plugins using a FTP client or through the web interface of your hosting provider, just as you would any other plugin.
3. Next, log in to the WordPress Admin Panel (WP-ADMIN) of your blog and go to the Plugins tab.
Activate the Clean Archives Reloaded Plugin.
4. Create a New Page and add the code
[ cleanarchivesreloaded ] (without spaces)
wherever you want the Archive list to appear.
Set the Page Title to Archives and the page slug to /archives.
Publish that page. You should see the Archives page in your blog now.

I had one of these quite some time ago, and another plugin that used AJAX and gave really cool navigation for the archives but seeing the statistics I realised that no one (not even me) gave a damn for that page. Waste of resources over at my blog, so had it removed and placed a simple drop-down in the sidebar.

^ Maybe mine is also going to suffer a similar fate.
BTW, didn’t get the “waste of resources” thing.

That AJAX one, it was consuming CPU for all the fancy effects
Similar was the case with the Post Rating plugin, those stars and stuff, got a warning from the host for excessive CPU usage heh.

Hehe, kk. I try to use minimal, non flashy/AJAXy plugins. Hav seen plugins take whole sites down during high traffic.
