 * Hi,
 * I am creating a theme, everything is good atm i have my posts displaying on a
   single page.
 * I want to add a side widget which displays a link to all the posts on my blog
   page, and it needs to be orderd by date/month/year.
 * Just to mention i have a nice archive template already where if they click a 
   category or a blog users name it shows all there post on a seperate page. But
   i want a small widget to do the above. Which lists everything on the same page
   as my usual blog posts by date.
 * How can i do this?

 * Do the built-in “Categories”, “Archives”, or “Recent Posts” widgets do what you’re
   hoping for? If not, you might consider writing your own custom widget.

 * There are a lot of good resources on the Internet for creating new WordPress 
   widgets. Also, I suggest checking out Twenty Fourteen’s Ephemera widget (defined
   in `twentyfourteen/inc/widgets.php`) to see how you can use the loop in a widget
   definition.

 * All four tutorials on this page are pretty good: [http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/create-a-wordpress-widget/](http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/create-a-wordpress-widget/)
   Don’t let the dates fool you, the information is still good.
 * Also, the default widgets are defined at `wp-includes/default-widgets.php`. Check
   out that file for more information and to see how the default WP widgets are 
   coded.
