If you want only the listing of the articles, you can install the component, create a new menu item, and set all the parameters in the menu itself. Your options include:
- Showing articles written on a specific date
- Limiting the articles by Section and Category ID
You can see all the parameters in the picture on the right.
If you also want a calendar view of your articles, a la WordPress, you can also install the module. It has the same basic options as the Component/menu item, and can even create a listing like the Component. And it can also be linked to specific Sections and Categories, which makes it very versatile.
Only problem I had, was that the date-display of the calendar did not show the right number of articles on a specific day (it only showed "1 article on this day"), but when clicked, it did display all the articles created on that day.
There is a short Wiki at Joomla! Extentions Directory where you can get information on the installation and styling options.
