wp_get_archives with image before text

Hi all,

I want to add an image (or in every case something) before the text which is generated in my sidebar by the command wp_get_archives. So for example i want to have something like this:

* August (20)
* September (34)

etc…

How can i do this?

I found a solution for the categories part. This is arranged by this piece of code:

<?php
  $categories = get_categories();
  foreach ($categories as $cat) {
  echo '<li><a href="'.get_category_link( $cat->cat_ID ).'/">
<span>* '.$cat->cat_name.' ('. $cat->category_count .')</span></a></li>';
  }
?>

Is something like this mayby also possible for the archives part?

Tnx in advance!
