The Archives Feature

Hi, back again with another bit of site functionality to update.

It concerns one of the new features I added in my last site update back in September, the “archives” function situated on the bottom of the Homepage.

This is actually called a “collapsing archive” because when you click on the year it opens up into a list of the months and then when you click on the months it will open up into a list of the individual post that I might have published that month.

It makes digging through years of family history posts so much easier to navigate when you want to read an individual post. Here is an example below.

I have recently been made aware that this drilling down feature will only work if you click on the black triangle to the left of the folder name.

If you click on the actual year or the month folder name it will open up all of the posts in that category in ascending order and you will have to scroll through all the posts.

So, as shown below, click the ▶ and it will expand each option to help you navigate through the archives and find the exact post you might want to read, rather than wading through multiple posts.

Thank you for your attention to this matter; I hope this helps with navigating, and happy reading! JAM

(Sorry, I couldn’t help myself—it’s a bit of an ode to the great orange buffoon!)
