This plugin can be used to display the last few monthly archiv links. Also it will display and count the items per month. If you have not so much posts per month, this could be more usefull for your users to reach the archiv entries quickly as a calendar. So you can make links like that in the navigation available:

• August 2004 (2)
• July 2004 (8)
• Juni 2004 (14)

This plugin is designed to give a more flexible possibility to customize the HTML - Output. The whole output is fully editable in the Plugin option managment, to fit with a special layout vision. Working well, only the textareas in the plugin management ar a little bit to small. In the pluginsource is no HTML code !!
