Hard to get a good feel for it since there's only a few posts there so far. Cheers!

You can see it in action here: http://mambo-tutorials.com/free-tutorials This page is accessed more frequently than the site map and analytics is proving that its a popular page for visitors. Thanks again for saving me a lot of time. Hi Guilherme,

Glad I looked again! Just what I needed at just the right time. I'll try to remember to let you know when it's up and running.

It works great. Is there any way that I can add content in the regular wordpress fashion to the archive page besides hard coding it in to the template like it did with this page http://www.uscollectacoin.com/review-provo-index ? Thanks for making that tutorial. It works great.

First of all, thanks for this code. It's a great solution to the archive format. I'm working on integrating it into my site, and I noticed that hierarchical was set to 0. When I set it to 1 to include my sub-categories, I found that they were styled the same way as the parents. Is there a way to change the style of sub-categories so that they can be seen as children of other categories! Cheers, Brendan Greetings!

Thank you. By using the category descriptions, this makes a nice archive-by-category page. The only thing is, I try to keep my categories to a few core minimums, which means some of them are incredibly long.

Thanks for the mention in the Who's Using It section! I discovered something cool about the script and modifications I posted above... if you use the term "include" instead of "exclude" you can make the page only include the categories you choose and none of the others. This way if you add more categories to your blog in the future, you won't have to go back and modify the archive to exclude them! Thanks again man! This script is awesome! Hey G!

Adding the who's using it is a nice touch. I discovered PSHero.com as a result. It is a beautiful site, even as it undergoes upgrading. I use your plugin, too. I've opted to use the dropdown menu approach, in order to declutter my sidebar. Cheers, Mitch Hi GUI!
