I'm looking for a way to show a list of archived news items at the bottom of
a Manila site. I have had a look on the Manila Newbies site - but have not
came across a way of getting simple list of archived news - I don't want to
have a calendar on the page. Any ideas or pointers?

Thanks,
Jim

Another approach would be to use a message include using the includeMessage
macro - http://macros.userland.com/basic/includeMessage

Just put something like

{includeMessage(5)}

In your template where the links are to go.  Then that is just editable as
a regular message (wysiwyg editor and all).

One of the things that I do when I want to have links that are multiple
sections and give me editing ease it to use the includeMessage macro
(see http://macros.userland.com/basic/includeMessage ) in the template
then when the managing editor is logged in they see edit buttons at the
bottom of each menu chunk (see http://www.cs.arizona.edu/  for an
example of the output) then each message is a simple set of links (in
this case they are short cuts so just quoted text) then the macro call
is wrapped in a div tag to give the look that I want.

Using the blogroll method if you want to have headers (upper level
items in the outline) in bold just use the css that is accessible in
the output of the blogroll macro.

I'm sure metadata.root would have something, e.g.

Several ideas come to mind, of getting something very similar.

If you can afford to pay $200.00, Bryan Bell of weblogger.com probably can
create a template just for you, that has everything you need.  He is
obviously very prolific at dreaming up template variations.
Look at some of the different templates, where you can populate stuff down
the side.

You could have a story called ARCHIVES which would be added to the
discussion group or cool places links, then that story would be the actual
links to archived news.

I posted something here recently in another thread about blogrolling link
services.  Since then I have posted a story on my weblog that provides
links to such places.
http://radio.weblogs.com/0107846/stories/2002/10/13/linkServices.html

Most of these services are for us to be cross-linked with other weblogs,
but if you used blogrolling.com treating each of your archived entries as
separate web sites, you could get pretty close to this.  It would probably
be at the side rather than the bottom.
