   hi
   on http://www.artbyherbie.com/index.php/archives, my archives page simply lists all my posts with their dates, in chronological order in their entirety. (the first few posts only have a title, as yet).

   in admin> reading> i have my 'posts page' set to 'archives' and i have created a page with the template 'archive'.

   how can i get this archives page to:
   1) list all categories
   2) under each category, list the post titles of the 10 most recent posts
   3) post titles should click through to each post
   (can anyone help with the code for this?)

   also, i dont know which template tag needs editing. archive.php (which i know is used when i click on a category), archives.php (which is a small file), page.php or index.php????
   somebody said its either page.php or index.php but which code goes where?
