Trying to understand ARCHIVES. It appears to display a list of ALL blog posts.

I was looking for some parameter that would allow automatic Archiving of posts after, say six, twelve months, or whatever. The archived post would only show if you click the post's title on the archives list.

Otherwise, what is the purpose of the archive list? [I'm aware that you can set an Unpublish Date for each post].

May be this is a Feature request rather than an Issue???
