Dashes in Sidebar, Text not Formatting

I have been working on my blog https://dianeclancy.com/blog/ for a week and a half, reading a lot of forums and documentation and gotten pretty far.

But in my sidebar where I have put a header “Contact Diane,” the text is not quite right and has dashes underneath. This is also the same for some text in the Meta second – but I don’t mind as much.

I had put a whole other category in and they were like that too but then I learned to make then a diff category in the blogroll and then they had the formatting – I had to redo them all.

This same not quite right size is in the Email link in the header. I have tried changing the css … I can get everything to change bigger and such. But I am stumped about where to go from here.

But those dashes are still there and the text just isn’t quite right. Thank you for any help – I have spent many hours on this ….
