from read elsewhere have create own query. not 1 may call developer. here's started with:

<ul> <?php $args=array(     'post_type' => 'post',     'posts_per_page' => '500', /*no limit, how?*/     'orderby' => 'date',     'order' => 'desc',     ); query_posts($args); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>  <li><?php the_time('j'); ?> | <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>  <?php comments_number( '', '(1)', '(%)' ); ?></li>  <?php endwhile; ?> </ul>
