   So I want to make a DAILY archive that shows ONLY for a specific month!
   example:

   archive:
   - november 11th
   - november 9th
   - november 3rd

   Because I also have posts in october etc.
   Please help!

   Could use this in a theme's sidebar.php, or put this in a widget (need Otto's PHP code widget):

   <?php
   //get posts dated this month/year
   $current_month = date('m');
   $current_year = date('Y');
       $args=array(
         'year'=> $current_year,
         'monthnum'=>$current_month,
         'posts_per_page'=>-1,
         'caller_get_posts'=>1
       );
       $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
       if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
         echo 'Posts this month';
         while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
           <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
          <?php
         endwhile;
       } //if ($my_query)
     wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>

   Great! This solved the problem, thanks a ton!

   The only thing, which doesn't matter too much, is there a way I can change it from being the title to the date? For example 11th novemeber etc?

   Thanks heaps!

   You mean like:
   

   <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
           <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author_posts_link() ?> </small>

   or this:

   <p><small><?php the_time('m.d.y') ?></small> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>

   Delete what you don't need.

   Review Formatting_Date_and_Time for various date/time display formats.

   Oh, i just figured it out, I'm not sure if this is a bit dodgy but I took where it said
   <?php the_title(); ?>
   and replaced it with
   <?php the_date(); ?>

   Which seemed to do the trick.
   Thanks so much!
