How Would You Like to View Themes?

A question for the masses. Currently here at Web McDeb, in order to view a specific archive category (PPC Themes, Dashboard Skins, etc.), you are faced with a list of links to wade through. Would you prefer to view the themes and skins in the same way that you view the monthly archives, with all of the posts available on a page? It's kind of a double edge sword. You get to see all of the entries in their entirety, but it makes for one huge page to wade through. I am trying to figure out how to add "prev/next" links and shorten the page, but it's not as easy as I would like in MT. I'm not a php expert by any means. For example, the Pocket PC Themes page would be about 100 entries long displaying each post in its entirety. I doubt anyone would want to wait for that page to load! Until I figure out a way to break those pages down, I'd like to know which method you prefer (for the archives only). List each entry as a text link (as it is now), or view the entire category in posts?

Have I confused you enough?smile

Just wanted to show you that I could post over here and I still like viewing them just the way they are.

I'd vote for all of them on one page... I'd be willing to wait and besides I could look at the top ones while the others loaded. Yes, a strong vote for all on one page. Thanks!

Well, maybe we can do both. I"ll look into setting up something so that you can select your view. Sound good?

Hopefully, I have reached a happy comprimise. You can now view the full entries in the archives, but they are limited to the last 40 entries. There are links to the monthly archives and other resources at the bottom of the page. Good?

Well, I think I have this figured out now. The link to themes in the main nav bar takes you to the last 20 entries. There is a link at the bottom of the page to view the whole list. There are also links to the list view on the archives page and on the sidebar. Everyone happy? I'm happy, see: grin
