How to make an Archive page for your blog

A few readers in the past have emailed me to ask on how I made the Archive page on this blog. I thought of writing a post on it after reading this email from a reader

Hi John,

I have one doubt. What plugin do you use to create the Archives page http://www.johntp.com/archives/

I have searched many places but didn’t find an answer.

I don’t use any plugin to create the Archive page, I just use this code:

<h3>Browse by Month</h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('show_post_count=1'); ?>
</ul>
<h3>Browse by Category</h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_cats('hierarchical=0&optioncount=1'); ?>
</ul>

You may also use a WordPress plugin called Clean Archives. I have not tried this plugin but have seen some bloggers using it to display all the posts of their blog on the archive page.
