T1 comes with two Page Templates. The Archive template displays a category archive, and the Tag template displaying a simple tag cloud.

Here is how to set them up.

Go to Write>Write Page

Write Page

Name your page Archives

Page Title

Now give it the page template “Archives Page”

Page Template Archives Page

Publish the page, and it will automatically show up in the menu displaying your archives. Set up the Tags archive the same way using the “Tags Archive” template instead.

That’s it.

T1 Supporting Tags

I’ve been working on incorporating the new tags feature of WordPress 2.3 into the T1 theme. Because of the nature of T1 as a tumblelog theme, tags are a great feature for categorizing content.

The categories will still create different styles for the posts, and the tags will give it the categories.

Here is a look at what to expect in the next release of T1 which will support tags:

  • Journal entries display tags by default on the blog
  • All post display tags when on the individual post’s page
  • If a post doesn’t have tags, nothing shows up
  • A template page will display a simple tag cloud
  • T1 will be backwards compatible still working with WP versions that don’t have tags
