    Here’s a problem I just can’t seem to figure out and I hope someone might be able to help me here. Here’s the issue:

    I want to dynamically generate an archive month listing, but I want it to generate like this:

    2008  01   02   03   04   05   06   07   08   09   10   11   12

    instead of…

    01 2008
    02 2008
    03 2008
    etc…

    I’ve reviewed the archive month link documentation and I’m unsure as to how to do this. Am I stuck manually adding the link every month or is there any way I can dynamically generate this list?

    How about using the Yearly Archives Plugin?

    Lisa, that might work. I would want it to show all months in a year, regardless if entries have been made in that month or not. Months without entries would just have the link removed. I have a question in with the plugin creator. Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction.

    If you want all the months of the year anyway, a plugin or at least some PHP is likely the way to go, yes. The Yearly Archives plugin is certainly a good way to get you started.
