Asymmetrical Information

I think she tried to ask:

As y'all know, I'm writing my new blog in WordPress. here's my problem: I want to display the archives and only the archives, not the main page in reverse order, oldest to newest, so that it reads more like a book. Can someone tell me how to hack this? Thanks so much.

Sorry, no help here.

The WordPress help forum seems to have addressed this. So long as the archives and the comments use different templates, you're ok. And even if they aren't, there's a url encoded way to have archives listed in ascending order.

Thanks for raising the subject. WordPress looks like a good product.

Thanks. Unfortunately, they don't use different templates; hence my problem.

Can they use different templates that look identical, but differ by name only?

There's probably a SQL statement where you could change an "order by" clause from DESC to ASC...

They could use different templates, but I haven't the foggiest notion how to set that up.

To set up archives to use a different template, go into the management page, then go to Options, then Permalinks.

If you can't, or don't understand, the RewriteRules stuff, look at the note about not being able to use mod_rewrite. Where it says:

/index.php/archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

Change "index.php" to something else, like "archives.php", and put that in for the virtual site structure. Copy index.php to archives.php in your document root, then add the special flag to archives.php. You should be all set at that point.

(I'm a newbie to WordPress, but not to Web servers or Web stuff in general, so the above makes sense to me but isn't tested. I'll try to help if you have problems.)

Kathy Kinsley could probably set that up for you for like $5.

Or listen to Jeff if you don't want to ask me.

Do you guys know any CMS that will produce static pages. I am tired of searching.

great site and great information.
