How do I include archive links on the main page of my blog?

Note:This will only work if you are using a classic template. If you are using Layouts, simply add a page element, and select the archive option.
You can include your archive listing on the main page of your blog without resorting to messy javascript. For example, paste the following code into the appropriate area of your classic template:
<BloggerArchives>
  <a href='<$BlogArchiveURL$>'><$BlogArchiveName$></a>
</BloggerArchives>
