The __() is used to translate a text and give it back to a PHP
function withour echoing it, the _e() echoes the translated text
directly.

The in the case of:

<h2 class="title">Archive for <?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?></h2>

You should use the __() function cause the format strings should be
passed back to the_time function, then it will became:

<h2 class="title">Archive for <?php the_time(__('F jS,
Y','textdomain_if_apply')); ?></h2>
