   function get_archives($type='', $limit='', $format='html', $before = "", $after = "", $show_post_count = false)
   type = one of 'monthly', 'daily', 'weekly', or 'postbypost', empty = use option configured type
   limit = limit number of entries/months/weeks/etc. returned
   format = one of 'link', 'option', 'html' or empty
   link will output link rel="archives" entries
   option will output option value= entries for use in a form
   html will output list item links
   empty will use the before and after params
   before is for text/html to be output before the link
   after is for text/html to be output after the link (and also after the link but before the closing list item tag in html mode)
   show_post_count = whether to show a count of posts for that month (only works in monthly mode)
   Hope this helps,
   Mike

   Clearly, I'm out of my league.
   I would use get_archives(weekly,,option) if I wanted to override the default, and have a dropdown list for my archives, on a weekly basis? or would I have to manipulate the function directly (which is not optimal, as I use CVS builds)?

   Try something like this (taken from this thread):
   <form name="archiveform" action="">
   <select name="archive" onchange="window.open(document.forms.archiveform.archive[document.forms.archiveform.archive.selectedIndex].value);">
   <?php get_archives('weekly','','option'); ?>
   </select>
   </form>
   I'm not 100% on the javascript but I think it should work.

   Feature Request: An optional categor(y|ies) parameter, which would let us use this on individual post pages to list other posts in the same category ... that would be really nice.
