 * `<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=50'); ?>`
 * would show you the list of 50 latest entries.

 * Thanks for the tip, all i have to do is add that where I want them to show up,
   for example beneath catagories and place the with no div tags?

 * Ah, no, the full block for the sidebar in WordPress 1.2.2 would look something
   like this
    ` <li id="archives"><?php _e('Archives:'); ?> <ul> <?php wp_get_archives('
   type=monthly&show_post_count=true'); ?> </ul> </li>
 * Depending on which template you’re using (I just modified the default one that
   ships with WordPress [for my blog](http://www.moskalyuk.com/blog)) your notation
   might be different to keep up with the template.

 * Oops, change that third line to
    `<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit
   =50'); ?>`
