If you are really bored, you might like to check out my new Archive Page.
I thought about putting it in the sidebar but I didn't for a few reasons:
- it's ugly
- it takes time to generate the page and I didn't want the rendering of every url that wasn't already cached to require this hit.
- who cares anyway? It's mainly there to open up the older posts to search bots without them having to go through page/next 100 times.
On a more technical level, it uses the following route to give 'nice urls' for the year/month combinations:
map.connect 'post/on/:year/:month', :controller => 'post', :action => 'listbyyearmonth' map.connect 'post/on/:year', :controller => 'post', :action => 'listbyyearmonth'
so March 2005 would be '/post/on/2005/3' which is cool.
