Hi, on my site, I have links to my monthly archives going back until the first entry in my blog 1 1/2 years ago. How do I make it so that only the last 6 months show up in that link list? I'd like to do this using MT only, no PHP - pretty please!

You can use
lastn="6" in your archivelist.

Ok, I have a follow-up question. I want to do the same thing only lastn isn't working. If I have lastn=5 I get the last 2 archive links, if lastn=8 I get the last 3, lastn=20 I get the last 7 - no rhyme or reason that I can see. Any idea what the problem is?

Ok, apparently it's a known problem in MT 3.2. I found the answer here:
