 * I’ve found quite a few Archive plugins but I have no idea how to install them.
   Usually you have to drop in a little <php> code where you want the archive to
   appear, but I can’t create a page in wordpress that uses HTML/PHP.
 * For instance, how do I set up this archive?

 * First, you’ll have to upload the plugin to your plugins folder and activate it.
   You’ll need to get the plugin that allows you to place PHP code into your post/
   page (and upload/activate that too, of course) – I use RunPHP.

 * Different method:
 * Upload plugin, activate, insert the relevant calling code into an “myarchives.
   php” and upload to your themefolder (you can take the normal archives.php as 
   a base, but change the php templatename snippet to “My Archives”), then write
   a page and choose “myarchives.php” as a template.
