   Hey,

   I have a question. I'm developing a site under a theme that doesn't currently have an archives template. How would I implement an archives template into my theme?

   Thanks in advance.

   What do you mean by "archives template"? That term can have multiple meanings.

   Actually, what I need was detailed very poorly. I need a page that displays categories and tags that doesn't look the exact same as the index page - or at least something I can customize.

   Oh, then you'll want to create a custom Page template.

   alternatively, you can create an archive.php template - possibly start with a copy of index.php - and edit to your needs.

   Hmm, let's clarify: do you want to be able to customize the Tag and Category Archive Index pages, or do you want to create a static Page that lists Categories and Tags?

   If you want to customize Category/Tag Archive Index pages, then archive.php is the template file to use.

   If you want to create a static Page that lists Categories and Tags, then you want to create a custom Page template.

   I think what I want is Category and Tag Archive index pages, so archive.php is my best bet.
