This modification to your Blogger template will put all your archive files in a pull down menu
copy this:
<select name="archivemenu" onchange=
"document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option selected>- Archives -</option>
<BloggerArchives>
<option value="<$BlogArchiveURL$>"><$BlogArchiveName$></option>
</BloggerArchives>
</select>
then find this in your template and replace it:
<BloggerArchives>
<a href='<$BlogArchiveURL$>'><$BlogArchiveName$></a>
</BloggerArchives>
I would really like to be able to organize my posts by cateogry but it looks like this is not possible.
The navigation is one of the really weak things about Blogger.
I mean who cares about February 2003? Not me I want to know how many posts are about something I am interested in, and I don't want to have to read through an entire year just to see if there is anything in there or not about a subject that interestes me.
The other problem is when I do just want to sit and read an entire blog I have to go to the archive then either read it backwards from the top down or scroll to the bottom then scroll up and hopefully not miss a title then read down until I hit a title then scroll up past what I just read and start hunting for the next title then read down again.
It's about the worst way I can think of to make the site navigation.
How about next post? what's so hard about that?
