  Here’s the Archive widget documentation http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/archives-widget/ What is stated there that makes you think you can do that?

  I have seen blogs with archives yearly.

  Maybe i’m looking something that cannot be done :)

  You are asking for some years to be displayed one way by the Archive widget and another year to be displayed another way by the same Archives widget and I don’t see any way to do that.

  The only way might be to have to archive widgets. OK TT, just thinking how to alter them :)

  I don’t think what you want to do is possible.

  Hi there,

  The Archives Widget will always display a monthly archive of your post. If you’d like to display yearly archives, you can do that with the Archives Shortcode.

  You can paste the archives shortcode into a Text Widget to display it in your blog’s sidebar. For example, this shortcode will display your archives by year:

  [archives type=yearly]

  However, there isn’t a way to have some of your posts displayed yearly while others are displayed monthly. I hope this helps!
