   I have searched the forums, but I couldn't find a question quite like I have. So I thought I'd shoot this out there.

   I would like my Archives on my sidebar to show the current year by month, but the previous years just by year. I am not sure how to do that.

   jan 07
   feb 07
   etc
   and then just
   2006
   2005
   etc.

   Can that be done? Or am I just a hopeless dreamer? :)

   Thanks!

   Maybe not exactly what you want but could you find acceptable, two instances of the template tag, wp_get_archives in your sidebar?

   First one:
   <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&limit=12'); ?>

   Second one:
   <?php wp_get_archives('type=yearly'); ?>

   Good enough for me! I can survive with what that looks like. It makes my sidebar less cluttered with stuff, so, thank you VERY much!! :)

   Michael,

   I wonder if there's a better way to do this - I would really just like to show the current year by month and previous years by year

   2008
   -month
   -month
   -month
   2007
   2006

   if you use the solution you gave you see 2008 twice

   I think this is what you want:

   <ul>
   
   <?php wp_get_archives('type=yearly&limit=1'); ?>
   
   <ul>
   	<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&limit='.date('m').'&show_post_count=1'); ?>
   </ul>
   
   <?php
   $years = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT DISTINCT YEAR(post_date) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'post' ORDER BY post_date DESC");
   unset($years['0']);
   foreach($years as $year) :
   ?>
   
   <li><a href="<?php echo get_year_link($year); ?>" title="<?php echo $year; ?>"><?php echo $year; ?></a></li>
   
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   
   </ul>
