I did a little digging around in the WordPress DOCS area today. The online help and support for this blogging software is quite extensive. Not only are there DOCS which describe every facet of the app, but there is a discussion forum, too. Sign in and you can post questions to other WP users. Even without signing in, you can search the forum.

So I was digging around, looking for the way to add a graphical calendar to my sidebar. I like the look of a month view, where days that have posts are highlighted and you can view posts of a particular day simply by clicking on a date.

There are many options provided by WordPress for navigating the posts of your blog. The default settings include a search box right at the top of the sidebar, as well as to list Archives by month, and posts by Categories. That’s a lot of navigating.

Still, I added the calendar. And a few days ago, I added the listing of the 7 most recent posts. The sidebar’s getting pretty busy. I think I’ll keep all of these options for now and get some feedback from you.

Which of these options do you use when navigating this blog? What do you use when navigating other blogs? Do you like to read all the posts about astronomy? Perhaps you prefer to read all the posts that occurred during your 3-week vacation. Do you just want to see what I’ve recently written about?

Let me know. Because no matter what method I like, it is what you, my readers like, that is paramount.
