Hi John,
How do I show at least 12 months of archives in the Monthly Archive component?

| The Month Archive component can only display the 5 most recent months in which you had posts. For additional links to archives, you can add the Year archive component or create a custom component containing additional links. |

Hmmmm. The problem I have with having monthly archives limited to only 5 is its not clear to visitors its a list limitation. For folks not familiar with a blog's history, it can look like the month's listed are the only available months. For example, look at my blog. The only year so far is 2005 and right now, my monthly archive only goes back to May. Even I got confused when I went looking for my March archive.
That's why I'd like to have a running total of 12 months available in any given monthly archive. Even better would be to have it run solely from Jan - Dec in any given year.
I tried to do a 12-count customized component but wasn't sure which code I alter. I don't see any numbers in the component. Can you clarify?
Thanks.[/i]

Your suggestion is noted.

We actually meant that you would need to create a custom component from scratch containing additional links. Sample code follows:
| Code: | <div class="component">
<div class="componentHead">Month Archive</div>
<div class="componentContent">
<div class="componentArchive">
<a href="/blog/_archives/2005/9">September 2005</a><br>
<a href="/blog/_archives/2005/8">August 2005</a><br>
<a href="/blog/_archives/2005/7">July 2005</a><br>
<a href="/blog/_archives/2005/6">June 2005</a><br>
<a href="/blog/_archives/2005/5">May 2005</a><br>
<a href="/blog/_archives/2005/4">April 2005</a><br>
<a href="/blog/_archives/2005/3">March 2005</a><br>
<a href="/blog/_archives/2005/2">February 2005</a><br>
<a href="/blog/_archives/2005/1">January 2005</a><br>
</div> <!-- componetArchive -->
</div> <!-- componentContent -->
</div> <!-- component --> |
and so on. We have no suggestion as to how to dynamically update this type of component. |

Thanks. I'll just have months to come in the list. Think that's better than missing months.
