Hi Sakin,
when you look in the footer area one of this page (http://www.travelintense.com), you can see that there is a pretty ugly looking white drop down box for the archive and calendar. Is there an option, to only have e.g. “Archive” written there, with a hyperlink to it, and once the user clicks on it a drop down list or a new page with options shows up? Same for calendar?
If not, do you have any other idea how to make this look prettier (maybe some best practice tips from other users)? I think giving readers the option to search the archive and categories is great, but designwise it looks aweful at the moment…
Thanks a lot,
Michaela

@Michaela: First, add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box and it will look better.
```
.screen-reader-text {
	clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);
	position: absolute !important;
	height: 1px;
	width: 1px;
	overflow: hidden;
}
```
If you want to create link then you can add in “Text Widget” to your Footer Area and then add HTML link. See this http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

Thanks Sakin, the CSS code you gave me you worked and it looks prettier now.
But I think I’ll go for the link option, as this better fits the general style of the site.
I know how to create these text widgets, but to which page do I have to link it, to allow the reader to search the full archive? Do I need to set up one myself, and then add links for all the months I have published posts? That would be quite some work, and a lot of maintenance. Is there an easier way?

@Michaela: Yes, if you want to make it like link then you need to create page and add archive. For that, you need to add in archive in page with plugin.
