BlogArchive Server Control
The BlogArchive server control displays past months or years that have blog posts. This server control can be used with the BlogEntries server control and the Calendar control to let site users scan for older Blog posts.
When a site visitor clicks a month in the archive, the blog posts for that month appear.
Typically this control is displayed along side other individual Blog server controls. See Also: Using Blog Server Control vs. Individual Blog Controls
