I would like to present a more structured list of my posts on Tumblr.
Is there any way I can do this from within Tumblr itself?

Tumblr offers the following ways to list posts automatically:
There are the usual pages:
page/2,page/3, …There are tag pages (where
foobaris a tag):- newest first:
/tagged/foobar,/tagged/foobar/page/2, … - oldest first:
`/tagged/foobar/chrono,/tagged/foobar/chrono/page/2, …
- newest first:
There are date pages:
/day/2013/09/27,/day/2013/09/28, …There is the archive:
/archiveThere are sitemaps:
/sitemap.xml(resp./sitemap1.xml,/sitemap2.xml, …)
With Custom Pages you could link and organize all your posts manually.
With the API you could program a custom application.

mm. not what I meant. I just want to show my archive in a less fancy way, more dropdown-oldfashioned blogger like. I don't understand why this is still not possible. Sep 28, 2013 at 16:16

1@ThiemeHennis: Yes, I can imagine that none of these solutions satisfy you. But that is everything that Tumblr offers. For everything else, you’d need to build it yourself with the API or use a tool someone else built with the API.– unorSep 28, 2013 at 19:56
I've read of someone having success with adding their own Tumblr RSS to the sidebar, to get a chronological list of posts. With some CSS, you might be able to achieve what you want.
later: I believe this solution included the use of Feed2JS, by Adam Levine, http://cogdogblog.com/.
Is your archive huge? You could start building a Custom Page by hand - or did you want this to appear on the index page, like Blogger? There are so many themes out there now, many with the white space to add lists etc.

Google is your friend. Others have done this, so the CSS is out there. There may even be Tumblr support for this, by now.– Zo219Dec 30, 2013 at 4:02

I meant to say, your feed exists, your task would be to make those links match your theme, in nice lists. Drop-down, not sure. Got a sidebar?– Zo219Dec 31, 2013 at 4:22
