This sounds like a great idea! We host our own blogs as part of our larger business sites, so this would be very easy to do, and should help with SEO. Our blogs are too new to implement it now, so I hope I don’t forget about doing this in the future. Thanks for the tips.

I was thinking of taking up this suggestion around when I get past the 300 post mark but instead of me coming up with the list, I was thinking of having readers come up with lists and formulating the common “top posts” from there. It certainly saves me a lot of rereading!

Can’t help you there, as I use blojsom, but you can see an example of an archive page here on my site. I’m not done yet, I’m putting together different lists sorted differently. Don’t forget to reference the archive(s) from your sitemap, if you have one, and from the main page of your blog….

Thanks for the suggestion. Hmm, maybe there’s a WordPress plugin to do that automatically…

After your blog is established and you have enough content, it’s also useful to have a complete list of your postings available somewhere, for two reasons: First, it helps you find your own material more quickly when making comments in other blogs. Second, it helps the search engines find your content. Just make sure the archive contains permalinks and you should be fine. It helps if you can organize the list somewhat, too, such as sorting them by date and so on.
