Here’s the code I used to use to display an archive list of blogger entries: Pretty straightforward, it grabs a list of files with the right name pattern, then prints a pretty display of the previous listings.

  10 Year Anniversary of Philip Greenspun’s Dynamic Site At Philip Greenspun’s Weblog he notes the 10th anniversary of his personal site, which mutated into photo.net, and which caused him to learn a great deal about building web community with database-backed websites, and so in turn he wrote books and put up sites and inspired people like me. Kudos on that anniversary!
