    Hi,

    I’m trying to create sidelinks that will link to a page of news items by the year -

    2007
    2006
    2005

    etc.,

    Not sure what should be in my url links for each yr   - 

    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="news" orderby="date" sort="desc"}
{date_heading display="yearly"}
<li><a href="http://{news/???">{entry_date format="%Y"}</a></li>
{/date_heading}
{/exp:weblog:entries}


    Do I need to create a new template for the yearly archives?

    What would the main body entries code in that page then look like ?

    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="news" orderby="?????"  }
<h2>{title}</h2>
<p>{entry_date format="%F %d %Y"}<br />
{news_main_summary}<br />
<a href="http://{title_permalink=">Read Full Story</a><br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}

    I think I’ve got it having found this page -http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Yearly_Archives/

    I don’t have loads of entries yet to test this but see what you think -

    I created new template ‘year’

    with 

    <h2>Archive for the year {segment_3}</h2>
<p>{exp:weblog:entries weblog="news" dynamic="off" year="{segment_3}" sort="asc"} </p>

<p>{date_heading display="monthly"} </p>

<h4>{entry_date format="%F %Y"}</h4><p> <br />
{/date_heading} </p>

<p>{/exp:weblog:entries}


    then sidebar links in main index page - 

    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="news" orderby="date" sort="desc"}
{date_heading display="yearly"}
<li><a href="http://{path=weblog/year}">{entry_date format="%Y"}</a></li>
{/date_heading}
{/exp:weblog:entries}


    sound right?

    I just want the year page to list all the entries for that year .

    How would I paginate that big year list?
