Default Archives in Blogger is usually listed in period wise; that is monthly, weekly or daily. Hence, all posts will be not seen a collapsed and only those posts that comes under current month or week ( irrespective of the settings) would be visible by default. This will sometimes affect readership of articles posted in the previous months.
How to create an archive that shows all the posts?
Here is way to list titles of all posts shown on blogger posts so that readers can find all important post titles from their current page. Once done with this new archive, we can remove the default archive from blog.
Here is the set up process.
- Create customized feed in feedburner.com.
- Create feed redirection on blogger blog.
- Now go to 'Publisize' tab on the screen
- Select Buzz Bosst. Move down the screen and click 'Activate'
- Choose all required information, such as date, favicon, Display link etc. Select the following choices.
- Choose Number of items to display as 'All'
- Check box for Display feed title, which will enable titles of all posts to be displayed
- Choose if you want to display favicon or not.
- Now, select or deselect check other boxes as per your requirements.
- Once finished, click Save button to save your choices. Move up to the top to find the code for the widget.
- Choose Blogger option from the drop down menu and then click Go button to redirect to the blogger site. Log in to your blogger account.
The code will be automatically placed in your blog. Position of this code can be changed by dragging the widget to the appropriate place. You can place this code manually as well. For that, you need to copy the code first and then paste inside the widget in blogger blog layout.
When finished, Save the template. Click View button to see your blog side bar appear now. You can see all your post titles neatly listed inside the sidebar.
When there are a large number of posts in a blog, then we need to restrict the number of post titles that needs to be shown. It is better to choose those posts titles that are relevant to our blog niche to be shown on the side bars. You can customize this archive as per the requirement so nothing to worry about it.
