Is there a graceful method to implement blog archive? How do I get the  
start  
month of posts and how to list the months from the start month?

Apologies for the self-promotion but I wrote a blog post on how to  
create monthly archives at  
[http://capturedsparks.com/entries/16-creating-monthly-archives-in-rails](http://capturedsparks.com/entries/16-creating-monthly-archives-in-rails)

Hope this helps!
