Get rid of the calendar

Many blog templates or WordPress themes come with a calendar by default. This feature could be useful if you write content that is dependent on time. Someone writing about his journey across the Sahara desert, for instance, would need to have a calendar so that readers would be able to track posts in a chronological order and find posts of a specific day.
Most bloggers, however, write about topics that are not dependent on time. The first question you need to ask yourself is: “Will my readers benefit from having a calendar where they can click on a particular day and check what I have written on that day?”. The answer is probably “no” in most of the cases. The calendar, therefore, will only clutter your sidebar and confuse your visitors.
