   I am trying to create an archives page similar to this one http://mattbrett.com/archives/ where the month is listed and then that months posts under it. I can't find any documentation on how to do this?

   Can anyone please help?

   A plugin that gets a list of posts archived into months is here:
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/clean-archives-reloaded/

   Another one here: http://www.sonsofskadi.net/extended-live-archive/

   Sitemap, probably adapt to archives: http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/sitemap-generator-plugin-for-wordpress/

   Thanks,

   I have used the clean archives reloaded plugin but doesn't do exactly as I want. I figured there must be a way to achieve this without a plugin? It seems so simple and I see it on a lot of sites however I just can't find anything?

   You could hack this. It looks like this (bottom half of the page)
   http://www.z-oc.com/blog/archive/

   Instructions from here
   http://www.z-oc.com/blog/2008/02/a-powerful-archive-page-for-your-wordpress-blog/

   Let me know if it works for you.

   <?php
           $prev_date = NULL;
           $date = NULL;
       ?>
   
       <?php query_posts("posts_per_page=-1&order=DESC"); ?>
   
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
       <?php
           $date  = get_the_time('m.Y');
           $year  = get_the_time('Y');
           $month = get_the_time('m');
           $baseUrl = get_bloginfo('url');
   
           if($date != $prev_date)
           {
               if ($prev_date) echo "</ul>\n";
               $prev_date = $date;
               echo "<h3>";
               echo "<a href='" . $baseUrl ."/". $year ."/". $month . "'>";
               echo get_the_time('F Y');
               echo "</a>";
               echo "</h3>";
               echo "<ul>";
           }
       ?>
   
       <li><?php the_time('M d') ?>. <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></li>
   
       <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
   
       </ul>

   You can set it upon your requirement with these options:
