I'm going insaaaane!

The reason I haven't been such an avid food/recipe blogger lately (besides the fulltime studying) is that I'm trying to put up my wordpress blog. Everything is going fairly well except the fact that I want a page for the archives (ie archives/index.php) and store all my archives there instead of having all the links on my index page. Is there ANYONE out there who knows how to do this??
I'll send you a thank you package with some swedish treats! JUST HELP ME???
email me (xonie@hotmail.com), be sure to put the topic as wordpress or it'll go straight to my junkmailbox! Remember, gifts for you!!!!
