How do I create an index for my archive pages?

Many people create an index for their archive pages, so that others can move around them more directly than is possible with the

buttons.

The method for creating an archive index is very similar to that for linking to one of your own old posts (or someone else's). Every page of your archive pages has a unique identifying address in the SU databases, like this: http;//mr-helpful.stumbleupon.com/archive/10/ - and they increment in 10's. So, the next (oldest) archive page is http;//mr-helpful.stumbleupon.com/archive/20/

Your latest (newest) page can also be reached via http;//mr-helpful.stumbleupon.com/archive/0/

To create an index for your archives, you will need to create a series of these links (one for each page of archives) and put those links either into your "About Me" (which can only contain a limited amount of information), or create a "Sticky Post" for them, like this:

10 20 30
Here's the code for the above example:

You should put your own name in the code, of course, not mine!

Tips:

Use special characters or symbols as separators: ∞ 10 ∞ , ∴ 20 ∴ , Ξ 30 Ξ , ◊ 40 ◊

How to find your oldest post.

Now that you know the format for the address of your archive pages, just enter the address http;//yourname.stumbleupon.com/archive/100/ (and add 100, if necessary) until you go "past the end" of your pages. When you do, either use the button to page back until you hit your oldest post, or reduce the /100/ to /50/ and so on, again until you find your oldest post. If you go "too far", you'll also see a clue about how many pages you have here:

In this case, 148 is the oldest post, so http;//yourname.stumbleupon.com/archive/150/ should put you very close to your "oldest page".
