Moo Collapsing Archives free WordPress plugin
Description
Moo Collapsing Archives free WordPress plugin
This is a relatively simple plugin that uses Javascript based on MooTools framework to
make the Archive links in the sidebar collapsable by year and/or month. Fork of Rob Felty’s Collapsing Archives.
Multiple languages content is now fully supported through compatibility with qTranslate and WPML Multilingual CMS

* using images to mark collapsing and expanding
* exclude posts from the categories general and uncategorized
Fallback
This plugin relies on Javascript, but does degrade
gracefully if it is not present/enabled to show all of the
archive links as usual.
