  When I read blogs at that other major blog site, I see
  nice javascript-y archive boxes with little icons to
  open “November (3)” and see links to the 3 post titles.

  Here’s an example chosen at random:

  Is there any way to make our Archives widgets (or some
  other widget) do that? I’m using Misty, if it matters.

  The only current customization options that our Archives Widget has are: 1) Show post counts and 2) Display as a drop down

  Kind of weak by comparison, don’t you think?

  Ouch. tntc, bubel is staff. :0

  Might want to remember that WordPress.com is FREE.

  I am grateful for all the awesome features WP.com has…and I can work with what it doesn’t have.

  Constraint is the mother of creativity.

  Perhaps you’d like to give the Archives Page a try. Create a blank page and select the “Archives” template. In Misty Look it will give you a list of categories, a list of months, and a list of the 50 most recent post titles.

  HI panaghiotisadam,
  Never mind. I’m only half paying attention with the holiday visits etc and too tired to be online. Sorry. and night.

  Sorry if I came off nasty.

  I’ll take it to the Ideas forum.
