Chapter 1: Discovering Blog Basics
sidebar of a blog, you can usually access both archive methods.
Figure 1-6 shows the date-based archives of Rose’s blog, broken down
by month. Date-based archives can also show weeks and years.
• Categorized archives: Figure 1-7 shows the category archives of
Real Baking with Rose Levy Beranbaum. By sorting each post into a
category at the time that she publishes it, Rose creates an archive
organized by subject, making it easy for you to find the posts that
most interest you. Clicking a category link displays only the posts
in that subject area, organized in reverse chronological order.
• Blogroll: A blogroll is a list of other blogs that the blogger finds
interesting or useful. By including the blogs and Web sites that
Rose likes to read on her blog, she can direct her readers to other
interesting Web sites (see Figure 1-8). And who knows, those sites
may return the favor, sending their visitors to her site.
