    I’m working with a non widget aware theme. I’d like to add a link to a general archive page. I’m not sure what the link should to be though.

    In other words, I’m planning to use archives.php to display either just the title/date info or an excerpt, or displaying categories which I can figure out… But I’m not sure how to call archives.php …

    A little help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think maybe I wasn’t clear in my original post. Staring at code erodes my brain…

    The theme I’m working with is not widget aware, so I’m creating static links to pages, and I’m using a static page (write->page) as my home page. If I were using the latest posts as my home page there would be “previous” links dynamically created.

    I’m trying to figure out how to create a static link to a page that has a list of posts (or excerpts) and figured archives.php is the way to do that.

    My confusion is that I don’t know what to link to…

    I may have just answered my own problem…

    Perhaps the solution is to make archives.php a template file with a different name and create a page using that template file?

    OK… To answer my own question and confirm my own solution…

    Yes, that was the answer. Not quite sure why I didn’t think of it earlier.

    Create a page, use archives.php as the template.
