I’ve also remembered why I was not going to go monthly on the archives in Blogger. If I do that, then it means there are a month worth of posts on the main page, which can then take a long time to load. (although as I don’t use tables it does load sequentially rather than waiting for the whole lot to be downloaded before displaying anything).So thats why. If you don’t like the amount of space the archive listing takes up, then disable them from being shown by using the customisation options in the top right hand corner of the web page.
