Hello - if any one can help me with this, it would be great. Everything I have read on this topic is everything I have done. But it's not working.

My Master Archive Index looks like this

September 2002
Date of Post - Title of Post (linked)
Date of Post - Title of Post (linked)

August 2002
Date of Post - Title of Post (linked
Date of Post - Title of Post (linked)

You get the idea...

I used this bit of code to accomplish it:
CODE
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
<$MTArchiveTitle$><br />
<MTEntries>
<$MTEntryDate format="%b %e"$> - <a href="<$MTEntryLink$>#<$MTEntryID pad="1"$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a>
</MTEntries>
</MTArchiveList>

Yet when I click on the Title of Post (linked) it doesn't take me to the Individual Post. It takes me to a similar page with the dates and titles displayed as above.

I have Monthly and Individual Archives checked under Blog Config/Archiving/Archive Type. The Archive File Template box is empty. And the Individual Entry Archive Template is the default.

Help? I'm new at this.

Try this:
CODE
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
<$MTArchiveTitle$><br />
<MTEntries>
<$MTEntryDate format="%b %e"$> - <a href="<$MTEntryLink archive_type="Individual"$>#<$MTEntryID pad="1"$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a>
</MTEntries>
</MTArchiveList>


I think that should give you the result you want smile.gif

I tried changing it to the code you suggested above, but it still takes me to the same (wrong) page.  huh.gif

What do you think could be causing it?
kadyellebee
can we have a link to your site?  I'd be happy to check it out and see if I can see something else that is going on.  :)

Look how your links are turning out:

Do you have .html appended to your Local Archive URL in blog configuration? You shouldn't, it should just end with a /:

CODE

I sure did! Thank you so much, that fixed it right up! All I have to do now is change the Individual Entry Archive Template.

Again, thanks a bunch to you and kadyellebee  :D
