Over and above a recent brush with the dreaded Blogger Archive Bug, my archives have been fubar for some time. I finally got fed up and decided to fix them, but of course, I had no idea how to do it.

I discovered that my archive template had somehow gotten trashed. I have no clue what goes into an archive template, but Blogger has a whole bunch of them. So I created a temporary second blog and copied the archive template from that to the Cognocentric archive template.

It didn't work. Reference to my archives was eliminated altogether.

In for a penny, in for a pound. I copied the blog template from the temp to Cognocentric, too.

Lo and behold: Archives, in all their splendor

One drawback: Site meter is gone. Well, come to think of it, that's probably just as well. My numbers were just above seriously depressing.

So I am going to celebrate my newfound archives by linking to an old post about the beast.

Why that one? Because I have art!
