 * Good afternoon, I am just about finished setting up a website, but I cannot figure
   out how to configure the archives. I’ve not worked with archives with a wordpress.
   org site, only with wordpress.com. Do I need to use plugins to manage my archives?
   Please let me know what I need to do, because right now I am at a loss.
    Thank
   you

 * Archives are automatic, just like with WordPress.com. Once you publish a post,
   it’s already archived under the month it was purchased. Really, archives are 
   just another form of organizing the existing content, like categories.
