I contacted the owner of one of the two websites above (markmanson.net), and he says that his tech-guy coded it for him, and that it’s custom made unfortunately.

Thanks a whole lot for your replies!

The Simple Yearly Archive plugin gets fairly close, but I really like the way my two examples are displayed – where the name of the month appears once, and then the date of that month appears below it. It must be a plugin they’re using, because they work the same way, I just don’t know which one. ??

Thanks Johnna, I’ve been reading up on it to understanding it better. At first, there was no “Archive” in the template dropdown. I found the archive.php file in the theme folder, and after adding “Template name: Archive” in the file as a comment, the template now appears in the dropdown menu.

However, it doesn’t seem to work. The page doesn’t display any of my posts, only the title of the page :-/

Thanks Johnna! Actually I am using that theme, but if that structure comes built-in with it, I don’t know how to enable that feature. When I set a page to be my “posts page”, the layout is completely different, it’s like a grid where it displays the posts with images.
