Had to do with not renaming time to what you now named months_ago. Thanks for the help.

Was a couple issues with the code above I fixed to work with my setup. Weird is though is the link_to links to the right url lets say 2008/01 but the :visual will display December 2007 for that. So you end up with a something like this.

<a href="http://localhost:3000/2008/01">December 2007</a>

What would be causing that? Happens with or without my modifications to your above code.

Thanks for the great response. I was already doing the map.posts for my archive section. I was not thinking I could easily reuse what I have to get rid of that section of code. Thanks for clearing things up.

Just wrote my first rails application, and now I'm trying to go back and refactor parts of it. This piece is really bothering me. Just not sure what I can do with it.

Pay no attention to the bad function names. :P

module ApplicationHelper
  def time_month(month)
    return Time.now.months_ago(month)
  end

  def last_number_of_months(number)
    months = []
    number.times do |month|
      months << link_to(time_month(month).strftime("%B %Y"),
                        #posts_path +
                        time_month(month).strftime("/%Y/%m"))
      end
    return months.join("<br />")
  end
end
