## Description

The AWSOM Archive (formerly called AWSOM Drop Down Archive) is a plugin designed
to add a Drop Down or other type of archive selector on your Index and individual
Posts pages. This plugin by default requires no theme editing to work and appears
right after activating your plugin. It makes it easy for your readers to immediately
select a new post to view. This is especially good for Webcomic or Art sites and
replicates the archive that is on the Megatokyo.com website. If you want a more 
customized archive you may enter custom options for CSS, name, archive parameters,
and add custom locations all from the admin options area. The newest version of 
the plugin now allows you to place the archive in a post or page by using the code%%
awsomarchive%%, so now you can place the archive anywhere you want. Plugin Now Features
Full XHTML compliance.
