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 <code></code> on a page (or post). How simple is that?
<ul>
<li>Posts can be listed under every category, or just the first category they are filed under.</li>
<li>Categories can be hierarchically listed.</li>
<li>Categories can be sorted alphabetically or by creation order, while posts are listed chronologically.</li>
<li>A comment count for each post can be displayed.</li>
<li>Also, some simple statistics may also be shown.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Internationalisation</h3>
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

Thanks!

Use an "Archived" status to unpublish content without having to trash it.
