    Hi there, I have manually placed an RSS feed and other widgets in my sidebar2.php,(above and below the automatically installed widgets which display fine) but when the manually placed widgets display they have no vertical space between them.

    My blog is .girlgetstrong.com

    Please explain for a complete newbie, thanks VERY much.

  • Hi

    You need to wrap the code you manually entered in

    • tags as in the sidebar they are part of a list structure (

    example, your RSS feed code at top of sidebar
    you have this
    <a type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate" title="Subscribe to my feed" href="https://feeds2.feedburner.com/GirlGetStrong"><img style="border: 0pt none ;" alt="" src="https://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png"/></a>
    change it to this
    <li><a type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate" title="Subscribe to my feed" href="https://feeds2.feedburner.com/GirlGetStrong"><img style="border: 0pt none ;" alt="" src="https://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png"/></a></li>

    Do the same for the other blocks of code you entered.

    The first part of that was supposed to say

    You need to wrap the code you manually entered in <li> </li> tags, as in the sidebar they are part of a list structure

    <ul>
      <li> </li>
    </ul>

    That worked great, the spacing is fixed.

    BUT I must have done something unintentional, because I have somehow impacted my right sidebar and my LEFT sidebar somehow now with really big spaced out text.My font size went very large.

    Not sure what I’ve done? Tried to follow instructions but have obviously messed up somewhere!

    Thanks so much

    Or, did I do something wrong earlier in my stylesheet.css but it just didn’t show up until I fixed the right sidebar?

    Okay, I was able to make it all smaller in the stylesheet, but there is still a weird discrepancy between the size of the text in my left sidebar and my right sidebar…

    Hi

    I am assuming this is now fixed because the sidebar text sizes look the same in both left and right sidebars, in both Firefox and Internet Explorer

    Only thing that looks big in left sidebar is the tag cloud, which is supposed to.

    For the most part it worked itself out…still not sure how. But the one thing I can’t seem to find is how to make the “home” link on the left sidebar match the size of the rest of the text on the sidebar?

    And also to make it pink? I do have the hex code, just not sure where/how to put it in.

    Thanks once again.

    Hi

    On my computer the size of your home link is the same size as the rest of your sidebar text.

    To make it pink – this may affect other text on your sidebar, or might not. Give a try – add to stylesheet
    #sidebar.sides .textwidget a { color: #000000; } /* change color to pink */
