This last option means that each entry will be placed on its own page. Each blog can use multiple archive frequencies and types; for example, your blog could use Daily, Monthly, and Category archiving. Archive types are selected in the <i>Edit Blog Configuration</i> screen, or can be chosen when creating a new blog. Be aware, however, that the more archive options you choose for a particular blog, the longer it will take to rebuild your files (<i>Rebuild</i>).</p> <p>If you do select multiple archive options, you must select a preferred archive type. The preferred archive type is used when constructing links to your entries--for permalinks, for example. A link can only point to one possible archive type; to set this type, set your Preferred Archive Type in the <i>Edit Blog Configuration</i> screen.</p> <p>You will need to create templates for each of your archive types. See <a href="./mtmanual_templates.html">TEMPLATES</a> for information on which templates apply to which archive types.</p> <p>No matter what type of archiving you use, you will likely wish to create a master list of all of your archives. In Movable Type, a master archive index is just a regular index template; however, instead of using the <code>MTEntries</code> tag--as you do with most other index templates--you instead use the <code>MTArchiveList</code> tag. This tag, and associated tags for use with creating a master archive index, are described <a href="./mtmanual_tags.html#archive templates and master archive index">here</a>.</p> <hr size="1" color="#CCCCCC"> <span class="copyright">Copyright © 2001, 2002 Ben Trott and Mena Trott.
