i'd like to know how to set up the master archive template to look like this: http://www.deftone.com/blogzilla/archives/
the idea is that the afformentioned site has their archive page as a list of all of the entry titles BUT they are shown under the month that they were posted. this is kinda hard to explain, so i posted a link.
thanks.
Full Version: Looks simple, but...
I would guess that its something like this...

CODE
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
<$MTArchiveTitle$><br />
<MTEntries>
<a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a><br />
</MTEntries>
<br />
</MTArchiveList>
<$MTArchiveTitle$><br />
<MTEntries>
<a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a><br />
</MTEntries>
<br />
</MTArchiveList>

thanks a lot for your help. using your suggestion, here's what i came up with:
and it works nicely. just out of curiousity, is it possible for the months and/or posts to be sorted in chronological order rather than reverse-chronological?
CODE
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
<h3><$MTArchiveTitle$></h3>
<ul>
<MTEntries>
<li><a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a></li>
</MTEntries>
</ul>
</MTArchiveList>
<h3><$MTArchiveTitle$></h3>
<ul>
<MTEntries>
<li><a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a></li>
</MTEntries>
</ul>
</MTArchiveList>

Of course! Read the manual. look for global attribute sort_order...
Hi,
I have a question about that archive format.
That's how I want to do my archives (once I have enough to list).
The question I have is: what is the MT template for that page?
I have MT set to Category as Default Archive style.
So, if I put a link "Go to Archives" on my Main INdex, it would go to ~/blog/archives.html. And there are my categories listed.
So I could add this hint to get them listed, right?
I was confused becuase in a default template there is no link to the "/archives.html" page. And it took me a while (sigh) to figure out where they were.

this is exactly how i did it on blogzilla:
CODE
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
<h2><$MTArchiveTitle></h2>
<p>
<MTEntries>
<b>·</b> <a href="<$MTEntryLink$>" title="posted <$MTEntryDate format="%B %d, %Y">"><$MTEntryTitle$></a><br />
</MTEntries>
</p>
</MTArchiveList>
<h2><$MTArchiveTitle></h2>
<p>
<MTEntries>
<b>·</b> <a href="<$MTEntryLink$>" title="posted <$MTEntryDate format="%B %d, %Y">"><$MTEntryTitle$></a><br />
</MTEntries>
</p>
</MTArchiveList>
BAM: the archive list is an index template like the others. You can put it wherever you like by changing its "Output File" setting, or delete it, or make a new one by making a new index template and putting that code in.
I would think there's no link to it in the default index template because it lists the archives in itself, not a separate page.

@BAM: the template for that is called Master Archive Index, it's an index template, as already mentioned. it doesn't have anything to do with your prefered archive type, the preferred archive type is what is shown when you click on a permalink.
