I still display the by month archives listed in my sidebar. You do, however, imply a very good question: how much value is there in the by month listing in the sidebar? The answer — probably very little and yet here it is, still on my site. I think you’ve given me an idea for a short post for tomorrow. Check back tomorrow and I’ll have a post with a poll regarding the value of the archive section. Tell some other folks about it and let’s see if we can get generate some good discussion on this question. Thanks

You’re very welcome, Bret.

Personally, I removed my archive list from my site because I can’t imagine too many people search for an article by the month in which it was published. I know I don’t. Do you do this?

I love it when that happens. FYI: Tomorrow I’ve got a similar post coming out for adding archive totals to the sidebar. Pretty much the same approach but the reason for doing so is slightly different. Thanks for the comment David.

How timely! I was thinking about this a couple of days ago.

Thanks for the post, Bret.
