When I upgraded to Movable Type version 4, the part of my blog sidebar that contained links to my archives went away.<\/p>\n
I've been meaning to restore it for months, 'cause I hate it when there's no easy way to view a blog's archives, but kept thinking I was going to have to rewrite it from scratch, and that seemed like it would take time and energy that I didn't have.<\/p>\n
But tonight I finally decided to take a look and see how easy it would be to restore. And it turns out that the archive widget\/module has been there all along, I just needed to display it.<\/p>\n
So it took about ten seconds to put it in place, and another two minutes to update various tags and such to make it look right.<\/p>\n
So now it's in place, and it works, and I'm kicking myself for not having done this months ago. I apologize to anyone who's tried to view my archives in the past few months.<\/p>\n
PS: Another thing I've been meaning to mention: Those of you who view my blog in other contexts, like LJ or Facebook or a feed reader, may be missing another feature of my sidebar: a list of one- or two-line \"links of interest\" that I don't have anything more to say about. Some day I'll figure out how to provide that as a feed too, if it isn't already available as one.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
