With Chrono Cloud you will be able to add a third cloud to your archives page: A cloud based on time.
Just as categories can be viewed as a tag cloud through the use if the <code>taxonomy=category</code> argument to 
the <code>wp_tag_cloud</code> function, this plugin provides a similar functionality, displaying each month with posts as 
a tag in a cloud.
Example usage in e.g. <code>archives.php</code>:
<pre><code><?php chrono_cloud_echo(); ?>
</code></pre>

This plugin provides an easy way to paginate posts by year, month or day in your theme’s template files. Use the native <a href="https://keesiemeijer.wordpress.com/date-pagination/functions/#wp-pagination-functions" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress pagination functions</a> to display the pagination links.
It’s likely your theme is already using these functions for normal pagination. If not, see if it works with your theme’s pagination or add them yourself.
To tell WordPress a page should be paginated by dates set the <code>date_pagination_type</code> query argument to <code>yearly</code>, <code>monthly</code> or <code>daily</code> for a custom query (<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query" rel="nofollow ugc">WP_Query</a>), or in the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/pre_get_posts" rel="nofollow ugc">pre_get_posts</a> action.
See <a href="https://keesiemeijer.wordpress.com/date-pagination/" rel="nofollow ugc">the plugin documentation</a> for examples and more information on how to use this plugin in your theme.
