Customize display
In adition to the options avaliable in the function you can highly customize the apearance of the output by using CSS. These are the classes avaliable:
ul.atd-list {} // base list container.
li.atd-year {} // Yearly headers.
atd-yXXXX {} //yearly based class, eg. atd-y2006, atd-y2005 ...
ul.atd-yearlylist {} // list container for each year around this date posts.
li.atd-entry {} // list items containing each around this date posts.
atd-yXXXX {} //yearly based class, eg. atd-y2006, atd-y2005 ...
atd-mXX {} //montly based class, eg. atd-m01, atd-m02 ... atd-m12.
atd-dXX {} //dayly based class, eg. adt-d01, atd-d02 ... atd-d31.
atd-XXXXXXXX {} //date based class, eg. atd-20061205, atd-20050304 ...
a.atd-entry-title {} // Link to the post.
.atd-entry-date {} // span containing the date, if $showdate enabled.
.atd-entry-excerpt {} // span containing the excerpt, if $showexcerpt enabled.
