Newbie type question help plz

Hello! First thanks for looking in! I have recently installed wordpress and am now messing around with it. I want my archives to show up as the first five months like this:
January (3)
February (5)
and etc I have this code:
<?php get_archives('','5','','','',show_post_count); ?>
using that the months are all mushed up like January (3) February(5)March(3)
etc. How do I get a break in there? I saw the post on get archives in wiki but haven’t been able to get those solutions to work.
Also I wanted to change the default message of say Comments (0) to something like No Comment Yet, anyone know how I go about doing that? TY in advance!
