It also might be nice to have the ability to insert a "more" link so if the
list of months displayed is not complete, a link like "View complete list"
could be inserted at the bottom to take the user to the full archive page.

Yeah, I've been thinking about this too. I'm wondering if we couldn't consider
ways of grouping things better. For example, for the months, if we reach a
certain number, we could just show years. Or maybe format the months so they
don't take up so much vertical space. If you have ideas, put them here. :)

I considered putting each year inside a collapsible panel of some nature so if
you click on a year, it expands to show the months in that year. Of course, for
new blogs, a list of one year is sort of lame looking so it may be that this
sort of behavior has a threshold of some nature, like "over 10 items in the
list, roll up to the next level."
Could list by day for the first 10 days, then roll up to weeks; list by week
for the first 10 weeks, then roll up to months; list by month for the first 10
months, then roll up to years. If you get over 10 years of blogging in...
congratulations. And maybe then it puts out the "see all archives" link. :)

I implemented a simple control for a skin I'm working on that will allow you to
specify the number of months to show. If the list is longer than that, it adds
a "View Complete Archives" link at the bottom of the month list.
It uses the same ASCX code as SingleColumn, it just derives from this control
instead of that one.
Might be something to look at as a starting point for this.
