okay... my archives seem to be missing... wtf?

---
edit: Okay... I've figured out why the archives are missing... but I'm not sure how to get them back on this layout... and if I pick a new layout, I'm not sure how to get my haloscan comments to work with the upgraded template... grr...

Decisions, decisions... Do I keep the same classic look this thing has had since I started it and lose the archive, or do I go to a new layout and lose the old comments (but actually get to use blogger's built-in commenting from now on)? Crap, crap, crap...
