I love this archive plug-in. I was looking for something visual that could be scanned easily. I use this for my new site.
You have a typo (“bacground”) in your CSS file, but other than that it looks nice. And “Start in mini mode (collapsed archives)” doesn’t seem to work. It’s probably a jQuery compatibility thing. But other than those things, this is a really great idea.
