It is always a bad idea to hack the core files.  And by the way, the
function to start with should probably be wp_get_archives()
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_get_archives

But you should try the Customizable Post Listings plugin

That will do what you want without having to hack anything.
