Wouldn’t it be nice if the monthly archives could be displayed in the form for a chart? Unfortunately there isn’t a plugin to do that. Well at least there wasn’t one till now. I have just created a very basic plug-in it still needs a bit more work so I am not going to release it just yet. It’s made entirely of CSS and javascript and I was inspired to build it after stumbling into this : http://applestooranges.com/blog/post/css-for-bar-graphs/?id=55
Right now though the plugin is added to my wordpress installation and it powers the newly created archives page. I used to have an archives page earlier while with Movable Type (no there wasn’t a chart on it). I couldn’t find a way in Wordpress to create the exact same thing so it was not part of the blog till now.
Having a full archives page means I can shorten the lengthy and ungainly list of monthly archives in the side bar. Some times with short posts the side bars is even 5 times longer in length than the content area (or it used to be that way till now)
Hi, I’d like something like this too…Do you have an SVN so we can see your work so far?
Sorry for not having released this yet. I have a nasty habit of leaving things half done. I will return to this project and release the plugin soon.
