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