[wdvltalk-social] OT Wordpress - Christina

[joseph harris]

Christina,

Thanks for answering. 

As it happens I have just hit a problem ;-). I'm developing on my laptop and using Atahualpa, which is close to my previous design.

I am mystified by the right sidebar. The contents seem set, which I'll get over! Strange that if one tries to add a widget the set content disappears.

But my problem is with links categories. I have set category sizes much smaller than default [1.3em normal] which is fine for 'blogroll' and for al l the esisting headings. However, I have added two links categories - and plan to remove 'blogroll'. The added categories have come up in the default [1.6em bold].

Any thoughts on what they might be picking up so I can change it? In this theme the setting is under sidebars&widgets>style widgets>widget title. But I think with 'blogroll' there they may be appearing as list items. But there is no size adjustment on the form.

TIA

Joseph
