I'm sure this is documented somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. I have a new blog with only one link under "Archives" -- the month of "March":
http://www.fraudbusterbob.com/blog/
Eventually, of course, the blog will show additional links for each month that the blog is up, but in the meantime, is there a way to list the archives by week? One archive link all by itself looks kinda L O N E L Y ...
Thanks --

A related question -- what determines how many posts are on the index page and when they scroll off to an archive page?
For instance, if the authors for my blog wrote a total of two dozen posts in one day, they wouldn't all be on the home page, would they? That would be a long page.
wp_get_archives('type=weekly');
That should do it :)
In WordPress 2.x:
- go to your admin panel
- click the 'Options' tab
- click the 'Reading' sub-tab
- change the value for "Show at most X posts"
That value will determine how many posts are shown on the index page.

Thanks very much, Aleister, for the helpful information. (I'm always happier knowing where and how to tweak.)
I found the syntax and changed it. For other users who may be curious about the same issue, here are my findings:
I changed syntax to
wp_get_archives('type=weekly');
in three of the theme files (theme adapted from Wuhan):
archives.php
header.php
sidebar.php
But the result is not ideal. The date format in the sidebar is now too verbose to fit in the sidebar:
March 27, 2006–April 3, 2006
March 13, 2006–March 19, 2006
March 6, 2006–March 12, 2006
Doubtless I could change that, but I also see that the archive page title for any given week nows reads a generic “Archive for 2006”.
I also wonder what would happen to permalinks, which are famously finicky. So plain ole monthly listings for archives is best for me, I think.
Here is the info on wp_get_archives btw:
