Plugin to display summary list of all posts on one page?

    Hi
    I’ve been trying to find a plugin to do this but have no luck.
    I run a fairly standard WordPress blog (www.eevblog.com) and it’s getting real hard for me and my audience to find my previous blogs.

    I have a main page that displays the current 3 blog postings, each with an embedded YouTube clip, so they physically take up a lot of space on the screen.

    What I’d like is to have a page (on my Tab bar) that will automatically display a page with a summary listings of links to all my posts (as long as needed), with just the title and a direct link the post page. All of my posts are numbered, e.g. “#1”, “#2” etc

    Also, preferably something that does not not involve complex stuff like editing templates or something.

    Does such a plugin exist?
    I can do it manually of course, but that’s just another thing to maintain on the blog.

    And no, categories, tag clouds and searches don’t really work for me or my readers, as it will only display 3 postings. Many of my audience want to go back and views all my blog postings (video blogs) from episode #1

    Thanks
    Dave.

  • Put this in a page template:

    <?php
$args=array(
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  echo 'List of Posts';
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

    But if you are chicken ;) to tackle a template, then look at something like:
