Can you post the relevant portion of your archive template here so we can have a look?

Without that, my guess is that maybe you have the date wrapped in an MTDateHeader tag??

Say, I -really- like how you have your archive page set up, much better than mine.

Any chance you'd be willing to share this template? I'd be happy to provide a credit link if you'd like.

That is pretty cool looking, girlie.  Do you mind if I use this code snippet too?  (Maybe slightly modified, but still attributed.)

I currently have a journal where one entry is displayed per page.

On the monthly archive page, this results in only the first entry per day having a clickable date, with the others only have the colon as the clickable link (no date). See this monthly archive page as an example.

I realize that for newer entries (i.e. ones I didn't import from other blog software) it's better to use the "More" feature of Movable Type.

For older entries, however, how can I get the date to appear beside each entry as a clickable link?

Thanks,

Debbie

Here's the HTML I use for the monthly archive page:

CODE
<h1>Archive by month</h1>

<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
   <a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a><br>
   </MTArchiveList>


Thanks,
Debbie

Guess I should have checked the board before I responded to your email!

This is what mine looks like:

CODE
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly"><p align="center">
<a class="arch" href="<MTArchiveLink>"><MTArchiveTitle lower_case="1"></a><br />
<span class="list"><MTEntries>. <MTEntryTitle lower_case="1"> .</MTEntries>
</span></p>
</MTArchiveList>


That is in my Master Archive Index template.

Hmmm, are you sure there's not more in your template? Where are the colons coming from that I saw on your page?
girlie
Sure! I'm just flattered that y'all like it!
