 * This plugin seems to drop a closing ul on the list. Here’s the error that validator
   throws me:
 *     ```
       Line 737, Column 34: end tag for "ul" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
         </li> <!-- close month --></div><!-- close year -->
       You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".
       ```
   
 * whereas this is the format on a year end further up…
 *     ```
       </a>
             </li> <!-- close month -->
         </ul>
            </div>
         </li> <!-- end year -->
       ```
   
 * Thoughts?

 * I made this change, and now it validates successfully. On line 425 of collapsArchList.
   php:
 *     ```
       /* $archives .= "  </li> <!-- close month --></div><!-- close year -->\n"; */
           $archives .= "  </li> <!-- close month --> </ul> </div> <!-- close year -->\n";
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps.
