<h4>New Flexibility plus Enhanced User Experience</h4>
<p>Take control over <strong>Your Archive Pages</strong> in <em>Genesis</em> again! Use the ever popular way of <em>Widgets</em> to build your own archive listing or sitemap-like content.

<p>A great helper tool for <em>Genesis Child Themes</em>!</p>

<h3>Idea Behind / Philosophy</h3>
<p>I never really enjoyed the bundled “Archive” page template in Genesis. So I always wanted this template/ area a bit more easily customizeable since I first worked with Genesis! Widgets in WordPress are powerful and allow for adding really diverse and custom stuff – all in a very simple and user-friendly way. The approach of this plugin is to bring more power to the webmasters and users and help avoid other “archive” or “sitemaps” plugins and instead use the powerful tools from WordPress and Genesis that are already there. This plugin here works primarily as a ‘helper’ or ‘bridge’ plugin to just do that :).</p>

Finally, use widgets to maintain & customize your Archive Page Template in Genesis Framework and Child Themes to create archive/sitemap listings.
