 * Hi, how can I **index posts** so they all appear as a list of linked titles? 
   Arranged chronologically by date of post would be great.
    thanks, JSC, Boulder

 * If you want to show that list of posts on your blog’s main page it may be as 
   simple as changing your theme’s index.php file to not display things like ‘the_content’.
 * If you want that index displayed on a [Page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages)
   you will want to use the [template tag](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags),
   [query_posts()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts), and use
   something like the code below, taken from wp-content/themes/default/index.php,
   in your [loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop):
    `<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink()?
   >" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?
   php the_title(); ?></a></h2>`
 * Or resort to a plugin like: [http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/sitemap-generator-plugin-for-wordpress/](http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/sitemap-generator-plugin-for-wordpress/)
 * Resources:
    [Template Hierarchy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy)
   [Stepping Into Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Stepping_Into_Templates)
   [Stepping Into Template Tags](http://codex.wordpress.org/Stepping_Into_Template_Tags)
