 * Hi,
 * Theme Name : Minima plus from Thought Mechanics, Not Widget Ready.
 * Theme comes with drop down menus, in the sidebar for Archive and Category.
 * I prefer the traditional Archive system (Year/Months) and Categories (A1/B1/C1)
   above each other
 * Code for **Archive **
    <h2 class=”sidebar-title”>Archives</h2>
 * <form id=”archiveform” action=”<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>” method=”post”>
    <p style
   =”margin: 0px; padding: 0px;”><select id=”archive_chrono”> <option value=””>Archives
   by Month</option> <?php get_archives(“monthly”,””,”option”,””,””,false); ?> </
   select> <input type=”button” value=”Go” onclick=”window.location = (document.
   forms.archiveform.archive_chrono[document.forms.archiveform.archive_chrono.selectedIndex].
   value);” /></p> </form>
 * For **Category**
    <h2 class=”sidebar-title”>Categories</h2>
 * <form action=”<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>” method=”get”>
    <p style=”padding: 0px;
   margin: 0px;”><?php dropdown_cats(); ?> <input type=”submit” name=”submit” value
   =”GO” /></p> </form>
 * would appreciate any assistance.

 * well,
 * got the categories to change by using
 * <?php wp_list_categories(‘arguments’); ?>
 * and removing the old code.
 * however the category listing says Category and then the new code adds another
   name under Categories. would like to avoid the repetition and keep the parent
   style if possible.

 * sorted.
 * <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); ?> changes to traditional archiving.
 * now if i can only go back to the parent Font style rather than the new formatting.
