Blog archives page

I just want to replicate the http://cheeaun.com/ site. I want to see how far I can go even if I use some ugly code.

Is there any function in templates so that I can get full URL from the address bar then I can do some nasty if statement and see whether the URL contains “blog” or “categories” then switch the list template code to show the different code at different times?

Please help.

Cheers…
