    I’m trying to build an archives page. Does anyone happen to know how I can build one that lists the excerpts of my 10 most recent posts? Plus, with every post that has image at the top, I’d like to have a thumbnail floating to the left.

    Take the way the jasonsantamaria.com archive for instance. That’s kinda what I’m going for, except for the thumbnails.

    Hopefully this’ll get you started. Start with the basics before adding all the icing and flowers. 😉

    Check Template_Hierarchy first. Does your theme have a separate archive.php? If not, you’ll want to build one. Probably start by copying index.php, if that makes sense with your current theme.

    Then, in The_Loop of that page, replace the_content() with the_excerpt()
