 * This plugin is very cool and easy to implement. I just need to modify one thing
   i.e the post counts.
    I want to display post count for each year and month. Can
   you please guide me how to achieve this functionality. Thanx

 * The widget function in widget-archives.php:43 gets the post count as a result
   from the query (on line 59).
 * You could do the following:
 * `<li class="baw-month"><a href="<?php echo get_month_link( $month->year, $month-
   >numMonth ); ?>"><?php echo $month->month; ?><?php echo ' ' . $month->year; ?
   > (<?php echo $month->post_count; ?>)</a></li>`
 * I’ve added the following in the above snippet:
 * `(<?php echo $month->post_count; ?>)`
 * which will output the post count in parentheses for each month.
