  After reading this link, I want to use “showcount=true” to my archives code. http://en.support.wordpress.com/archives-shortcode/#options

  I can’t figure out how though. My existing archives code looks very different from the kind they’re describing. Here’s what my current one looks like:

  <li id=”archives”>
  <h3><?php _e(‘Archives’, ‘veryplaintxt’) ?></h3>

  <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=postbypost’) ?>

  Where exactly do I add “showcount=true” to that, and how do I punctuate it?

  Alternately, is there a way to make each item in the archives list bulleted?

  We need the URL of the blog in question beginning with http to provide accurate help.

  I have never used the showcount thing, but I do know that php anything is not allowed to be changed or coded on WordPress.COM blogs.
