Archive and Calendar widget appearance

Hi Sakin, when you look in the footer area one of this page (www.travelintense.com), you can see that there is a pretty ugly looking white drop down box for the archive and calendar. Is there an option, to only have e.g. "Archive" written there, with a hyperlink to it, and once the user clicks on it a drop down list or a new page with options shows up? Same for calendar? If not, do you have any other idea how to make this look prettier (maybe some best practice tips from other users)? I think giving readers the option to search the archive and categories is great, but designwise it looks aweful at the moment... Thanks a lot, Michaela
