This has been eluding me, so I thought I’d post here for some direction.  
Does Radiant CMS do a archive page like this:

[http://radiantcms.org/blog/archives/](http://radiantcms.org/blog/archives/)

on its own?

I’m fine with doing something custom, but want to be sure I’m not  
overlooking the obvious.

Ryan,

Sort of. Radiant provides the hooks to be able to do it, but you need  
certain code in the page. Here’s what that page has (Textile filter):

\<r:children:each order=“desc” by=“published\_at”\>\<r:header\>

h4. \<r:date format="%B %Y" /\>

\</r:header\>\* \<r:link /\>  
\</r:children:each\>

So, it iterates over all of its children, printing out links in  
bullets. The \<r:header\> section only outputs text when the value of its  
contents changes (so in this case, when the month or year changes).

And if you’re interested in pagination, here’s one  
possibility:
