<p>If your blog is over a year or two old, you may have noticed the list of archive pages is getting unwieldy.</p>
<p>This plugin is a widget that compresses the size of the arcgives list to two lines per <em>year</em> (three if the lines are narrow) rather than one line per per <em>month</em>.</p>
