This is your css

background:transparent url(images/bullet-arrow.gif) no-repeat scroll 5px 9px;
border-bottom:1px solid #C1D8E6;
margin:0;
padding:0 0 0 10px;

If you remove the border-bottom spec, you won’t have a border-bottom, in any list of your sidebar. Shouldn’t be a problem.

I have tried all of this but am still unable to the Google Custom Search to show any results.

You mean as your permalink? Or meta tags? There is a plugin for metatags, and a plugin where you can shorten your permalink.

How doesn’t it work? Is the excerpt shorter than you wanted it to be? Or nothing like you wanted it to be?

What do you mean change it, change it to what?

I found AdServe to be the easiest, and it works really well for my purpose. I also use AdMan, but I would use that even if I didn’t have ads, it allows you to easily put code in places where it once was difficult.

I tried a lot of event plugins. WPNG Google works best, you can use it as a widget, or make a page with it.

If you want to get into changing the look of your header, and not having a generic font, look into replacing the text with an image. Then you can make your header image using any font you want, and everyone will see it the same.

I would remove the bottom bar from the code, and put one in via html, or image, where I want it to be.

Go into the .css file for your theme and you can start changing the color codes. To change the color of your header font you would look for this code:

h1, h1 a, h1 a:hover,
h1 a:visited,
.description {
color:#FD5A1E;
text-decoration:none;
}

and change the #FD5A1E to something else, that is the code for the color.

I wonder if there is an option with that plugin to create a link for home?

You are going to want to secure up your wordpress installation. There are a lot of resources on how to do that. Also make sure you are running the newest version of wordpress, 2.6.2

Yah, I understand the confusion. Even though it looks like you have no widgets in place, you do.

Try adding just a blank text widget to your sidebar, and nothing else. Your sidebar should go blank. Then start by adding the widgets you want, just don’t add the meta widget back.

“not reading the css file” ?

So there is no css style to your site?
Maybe delete the theme, re-upload it and re-activate it, otherwise show us your site link.

Remove the Meta widget.

I guess this would only work with a widget enabled theme. I am not sure if 2.6.2 has made it so all wordpress installs are widget ready.

But yah, if you are in sidebar.php, you could delete that, but I couldn’t guarantee you wouldn’t mess up stuff.
