Archives section working, sort of

March 8, 2005 Geek Alert, News

The Archives link, which has been [broken](http://johnaugust.com/archives/2005/archives-section-temporarily-broken) ever since switching hosts, is now un-broken — which is not to say fixed.

In its previous incarnation, the Archives section could be sorted by category and date, in a variation on the familiar Sortable Nicer Archives kludge for WP. However, the database gods must have been angered, for all supplication cannot coax them to offer up their insight. Translation: something got broken, and damned if I can fix it.

So in the spirit of Something is better than Nothing, a click on the Archives section will show you every article in the system, from most recent to oldest. It’s not very user-friendly, but the Googlebots will love it.

The Show by Category buttons, incidentally, still work great. So that’s a better choice if you’re interested in reading just the [Q and A’s](http://johnaugust.com/archives/category/qanda), for example.
