My original implementation of this weblog simply listed all entries as one long list - not smart - but quick to implement.. Today I updated the code so that the URL for the weblog view would take parameters such as &date=25/06/2002 and &duration=7 - these parameters determine what is displayed - in this example all entries on or before the 25/06/2002 going back 7 days. Once I got this to work - the archive selection box was easy.
The next step is to build one of those nice little calendar navigators like so many of the professional weblogs - I wrote the code to display the calendar some weeks ago and now with the new URL parameters all I need do is splice the two together but that's probably a day's work. I think I will tackle it when I have the time and more importantly I am in the mood - it will be a little tricky.
