## Description

A very simple (to use and configure), yet powerful, plug-in to generate a list (
by category) of all posts.
 It’s simple because there is no fancy formatting, complex
configuration or other ‘noise’, just a sensible archive list of all your posts! 
All that’s required is to include this `<!-- simple_archive -->` on a page (or post).
How simple is that?

 * Posts can be listed under every category, or just the first category they are
   filed under.
 * Categories can be hierarchically listed.
 * Categories can be sorted alphabetically or by creation order, while posts are
   listed chronologically.
 * A comment count for each post can be displayed.
 * Also, some simple statistics may also be shown.

### Internationalisation

The Simple Archive generator provides support for language translation. Ensure WPLANG
is set in your wp-config file. Then use the simple-archive.pot template to create
a .po translation for your language, this then needs compiling to create a .mo file.
For example, a German translation (simple-archive-de.po) is provided thanks to Ingo
Terpelle at http://www.xing.com/profile/Ingo_Terpelle

## Installation

 * Just put the plug-in into your plug-in directory and activate it.
 * Then include `<!-- simple_archive -->` on a page (or post) to have your simple
   archive displayed.
 * There are a few options, which are self explanatory, just visit Options -> Simple
   Archive in WordPress’ administration pages if you want to change the defaults.
