category archives – titles only?

    I’ve posted this question before but I’m not sure if I was specific enough…
    Ok…this is what I’m trying to do…
    I would like my category archives to show up as titles only, not exerpts or whole entries. I’m already using NicerArchives and I’ve looked at http://wiki.wordpress.org/PhotoMatt.net, but these are not what I need!
    I want to simply list the category names on my main index.php menu, and the link for each category name takes you to the list of the titles of that category’s entries. Then you click the title and it goes to the permalink.
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks!

    With regard to date just don’t edit the wp-blog header file and they should be date listed, but I’m not sure whether they ascend or descend.
    The numbers are easy, try:
    <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1'); ?>
    There are quite a few variation, just do a search in the wiki for them.
    Glad to help.

    Hi…
    Yes, the code did work before I added my alterations.
    I think I’ve tried everything I could get my hands on.
    I’m getting an error that says “ended too soon, line #, etc”. I’d have to try it again to get the error. I’ll post it here when I do, with the code that created it…

    maubast,
    i think you have an open DIV in your index php.
    i see your basic layout well, but your WP Loop is located at the bottom, and to the left.
    maybe check through your index, and seek the open DIV?
