What archive format do you think is the best?

[swedguy]

Both for reading and SE purposes.

/blog/page1.html, /blog/page2.html, /blog/page3.html,...... with x amount of posts on each page

or

filed under year and month

/blog/2005 - links to each month
/blog/2005/04 - all posts from that month + links to each posts
/blog/2005/04/my_useless_post.html - the individual post


Most of the blogs I've looked at has the first one, but I kind of like the last one more.

What do you think?

I use the last one, i think. hehe.

It seems better for me, and better for the surfers.

Mine works out like this:

the archive page is monthly, 99 entries per page (which fits the entire month mostly)
http://www.boogie-blog.com/2005/04/

then each individual link links to the oriiginal file:
http://www.boogie-blog.com/3-brand-n...-galleries.htm

I believe that internal linking structure is important and having multiple internal links to the same page is key.

Which is also why I use the 'breadcrumbs' plugin on every page.

Nice! I like that way

Thanks.
