 * I`m wondering if anyone knows of a way to exclude posts from certain years? For
   example, I want to hide all of my 2008 posts but I don’t want to delete them 
   and I don’t want to have to manually un-publish each post that was posted in 
   2008.

 * Hide them from where?
 * As an example, with the WordPress Default theme, to wp-content/themes/default/
   index.php you could use the [template tag](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags),
   [query_posts()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts), just before
   [The Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop) to display only 2009 posts.
 *     ```
       query_posts($query_string . '&year=2009');
       ```
