One Year Ago Today – Oriental Chicken Salad and The Month in Review – August 2012 launched. We created “The Month in Review” as a way to access our Archives, because we didn’t know (yet) how to create an Archives section {grin}.
Most blogs have an Archives section accessible on their sidebar. But, normally, the sidebar Archive only tells visitors how long a blog has been up and running and how often they post (because it shows the number of posts in a given year and/or a given month). We do, too, but as our blog grows, it will become more and more difficult to find older posts. So, I wanted a more “robust” Archive section that would give readers, at a glance, many options to choose from.
Therefore, we published “The Month in Review” on the last day of every month for 6 months until I figured out how to create an Archives section on our blog’s “Pages”. Once I figured it out (after reading a book), I created and launched our current archives system in February of this year.
The way to access our archives now is by clicking on the “New? Start Here!” tab on our menu bar. From there, you can access our archives in one of four ways:
- Archives – Alphabetical
- Archives – By Category
- Archives – By Date
- Recipe Index (this is actually under the “Recipes” tab on our menu bar. Hover over “Recipes” and the “Recipe Index” will appear).
So, whichever way works best for you, we have an archives system to help you navigate our ever-growing blog and find old, buried treasures!
I don’t know what the weather has been like in your part of the country, but it has been blazing hot here! Over 100 degrees for the last several days! So, if you are looking for a recipe that is light and refreshing, plus you don’t want to heat up your kitchen on a hot summer day, my Oriental Chicken Salad is a great solution! Try it; you’ll like it!
Tootles,
