You should be able to use something like this:
CODE
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Individual">
 <a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveDate$></a> -
 <MTEntries><$MTEntryExcerpt$></MTEntries>
<br></MTArchiveList>


I didn't test that, but it makes sense when I look at it, so if you run into problems, post back!! smile.gif

So, I have my MT set up to do individual archives.

The archive page is here:
http://www.erraticfrog.com/archives.htm

Now you see the titles like this:
Entry 4 Link
Entry 3 Link
Entry 2 Link
Entry 1 Link

I would prefer it like this:
Entry 4 Link - Excerpt from entry 4 here...
Entry 3 Link - Excerpt from entry 3 here...
Entry 2 Link - Excerpt from entry 2 here...
Entry 1 Link - Excerpt from entry 1 here...

See what I mean? So - can it be done? If so - HOW? ;-)

Thanks in advance for any help you may offer!

Hmm. I'm using
CODE
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Individual">
<span class="webtext"><br/><br/><br/>
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a><br /></span>
<span class="smalltype"><MTEntries><$MTEntryExcerpt$></MTEntries></span><br/><br/>
</MTArchiveList>


and it actually doesn't generate the excerpts. Any ideas?

Oh god. Yes it does. I'm an idiot. Great code!
