Creating Clean Archives for WordPress Video Tutorial

In this post I want to share a video tutorial on how to create a nice clean Archives page for WordPress that combines great functionality with very stylish Web 2.0 look. Archives are a major part of your blog and as it grows – many time it becomes hard to manage, even to the point when author himself can’t locate his own posts Surprised.

Well fear not! TheSpot-Er is on the scene and managed to whip out a video tutorial for you that covers every step of the process…

One of the hardest tasks for any blogger is to get people visit his old posts. Information shared previously often times is NEVER sen by your readers and you have to find some ways to draw your readers deeper into your blog and encourage participation.

While there are many ways to do so – I want to cover the part of creating a nice clean archive page. If you simply rely on your theme default template for it – you are loosing your readers and I highly recommend you view the tutorial and follow the steps outlined below, I promise – I will make it easy for you Sealed !

Hopefully you enjoyed the post and if so – give me a ThumbsUp via Stumble or share the link via Share This options provided! Innocent

    Alex,

    I think it sounds great and I would love to check it out. For your info though, the video is not able to be seen since the ad screen that grays out the video couldn’t be removed?

    Best,
    Abi

      ABi,

      I don’t have any issues with video – try refreshing page … Sorry, I cant control how they display ads but I like the quality of videos Revver provides ..

        Alex,

        Weird, but if I click in the middle of video screen it stays covered with ads but when clicking on the bottom bar it plays great.

        Like always I have learned something new from you that is always very helpful. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

        Best Regards,
        Abi

      Raj,

      I have just checked the links – everything works. Sorry, I don't see any issues.

      • Alex,

        I am clicking the link “Download SRG Archives Plugin” above and then I goto the “GeekWithLaptop.com” site.

        There, I click the link “Download Clean Archives 4.2″ a little down below.

        When I click that, I goto the page “http://www.geekwithlaptop.com/downloads/srg-clean-archives/clean_archives.zip” and that page shows:

        =========
        Not Found, Error 404

        The page you are looking for no longer exists.
        =========

        Now, Am I doing something wrong?
