new idea:
When going to the news-archive, simply show 12 months, so right now we should see:
2004: jan..dec
in february'05 we see: 2004: feb..dec 2005: jan..
in march'05 we see: 2004: mar..dec 2005: jan..feb..
The point is, I want to quickly see the news of december right now .. but when I click 2004, I start in january again ... :X
uhm.. ok? 
And then you have to click on "dec" which is too much work? I would find it strange if we would let the years open with the last month. Each year starts with january
wolf: how about a previous/next month button

What about adding 2 buttons "Previous Month" and "Next Month" ?
In this case, if you are viewing the news of Januari 2005 and click on "Previous Month", you come directly in December 2004 ....
