Ever visited the ‘Archives’ page of a site? It is probably the most boring link on a site, just a chronologically displayed list, and it isn’t exactly easy to navigate, with just around 10 posts displayed per page. Archives, however is the one place where all your content would be showcased, every single post on your blog. Thus making this page a lot more user-friendly and reachable is important in order to secure some loyal readers and drive them to a few not so popular underrated posts on your blog.
Following up on the last point, you might have written ‘killer posts’ sometimes which indeed is worthy of more attention and somehow it passes your front page and goes under the rug, and not necessarily on a low traffic blog. Thus, the archives page can bring these posts back to life if a curious soul happens to find it and maybe submit it to a social bookmarking site.
There are a few WordPress plugins which add more functionality to your WordPress blog, there’s one plugin that I really would recommend which is the Clean Archives plugin. The plugin’s development was passed over to another, however it hasn’t affected the plugin whatsoever.
It displays a list of all months and comprises of expandable lists on just a single page thus allowing you to display the entire archive on one page and making it a lot easier to navigate, you can see the plugin in action in the Computer Realm archives.
