I'd like to be able to group up to 6 consecutive posts so that on the archives page it only shows the group once but provides links to each of the 6 posts.
An example of this is here: http://www.elevationchurch.org/archive Not sure if they are using WP or something else to run their site, but the concept I'm going for is similar to theirs.
I don't know whether I should be creating 1 post for each group and using a bunch of custom fields or if there's a way to create each entry in the group as a separate post but somehow know which ones to group together on the archive view.
You'll also notice that when you click on an individual post that has multiple posts in its group, it displays the related post information on the individual view. Any help you can provide would be great.
Thanks!

Could I somehow do this with a custom field? Would I be able to find all the posts with the same custom field and display their information in chronological order?

Has anyone seen this done before? Thanks for any help you can give.
on a general note:
to me, it look as if the site is using categories:
main category: sermon -
with subcategories for each block of 6.
translated into a wordpress setting, this link woud be a category page.
there was at least one similar thread in this forum, about how to show a certain number of posts per category on a page:

slightly different:

you would probably need to create a page template that calls all subcategories of the 'sermon' category; and sorts them into these blocks.

the slider effect is probably some javascript (jQuery ?).

Hey, thanks for responding. I really appreciate it. Two follow-up questions, based on your suggestions... would this method allow for different number of items in each category? I'm assuming the answer is yes.
If so, would I be able to sort the categories in chronological order of their creation? This is important since the sermons are time based.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

So, can categories be sorted chronologically in order of their creation?
