Gotta love it when things get on the net when they’re not supposed to

Whilst you’re there Kontraband.com is a cool source for movie clips, games, and funnies. Warning: anything with “NSFW” next to it is Not Safe For Work.

Have you ever seen such a sad bunch of whimpering assholes so desperate to appeal to little girls half their age?

Sometimes a good punch simply isn’t good enough, so for all their crimes against good taste, good music and just for being so utterly shit, step forward the Backstreet Boys and get what’s coming your way: a good warping for those hideous, cheesy faces!

Click.

Finally, got the archive up and running as it should be.

Permalinks are also working.

For the benefit of other newbies out there, here’s how I did it. Took me a bit of time, with several google and Wordpress pages searches, to find out how to do it so I thought it’d be nice to lay out a step-by-step guide for others.

Ok here we go.

Plug-ins used: runPHP and Sporadic’s ultra cool Clean Archives Plug-In.

1. Download and install the above plugins.
2. Activate the plugins via the ‘plugins’ section of the WP admin control panel.
3. Create a new page in the ‘write’ section of the WP admin control panel. (Select ‘Write Page’)
4. Give the page a title (I called it “Main Archive”, and consequently renamed the page slug to simply “archive”)
5. Under the “Discussion” section, make sure that eval() Content is checked.
6. Under the “Page Content” area, type the code as per below:

7. Click on “Create New Page”
8. You can go to Manage -> Pages to view the newly created page and check that it’s working as it should. If not, go back and check that everything is as it should be.

Now that the page has been created, you need to link to it.

9. The way I did it was to add the link to my list of WP Links, define a category for it called ‘archive’ and then edit my sidebar template (for the current theme) to display the relevant category ID.
10. Voila!

Hopefully that will save some people some time

More info on creating an archive index (without the use of the plugin) here, and template tags to display a date-based archives list here.

Another method for putting together an archive page can be found here. I might look into it some day.
