Your blog is loading for me now. I see in the footer the left-aligned title Recent Posts and 5 recent posts under it, which all appear to be aligned with the Recent Posts title.

Do they not appear aligned under Recent Posts to you? If so, what browser are you using?

To add some spacing to the posts, try adding .three columns footer-widgets li {line-height:120%} to the relevant style sheet (style.css should work). Experiment with the value to get the amount of spacing that you like. If you want to add a visual indicator like “………..” you could try adding .three columns footer-widgets a {border-style:none none dotted;} to the style sheet.

These changes in the css as I have prescribed them will affect all of the list items and links in the footer to change. To target just the Recent Posts column, you will likely need to edit the php to add an anchor to target just that column.

Keep us updated on how you work this out. I will check in to see if I can help.

Your blog isn’t loading at the moment. Perhaps you could tell us what widget you’re using and we can go at it from that angle. I would try to help you without that information but I think it would be quite a challenge! ??

Will check back later to see if site is loading, etc.

Greetings! You should be able to fix it the way you want by editing the CSS, but before we dig into that, could you provide a link to your blog so we can see what we’re up against? Thanks!

Hey, I’m not sure exactly what happened when you tried to upload the background image. The current background being called out by the code is: https://www.jimchelius.com/uploads/2012/03/background_gradient2.jpg which redirects to one of your pages.

You might try FTPing to your site and directly uploading the background image you’re trying to use, then refer to that image in your style sheet under body.custom-background

If you give that a try, update us on how that works out. I’ll check in to see if I can help further.

Hey, I may have a suggestion or two.

Did you check line 747 to see which string is having trouble being parsed? I checked the unedited php and line 747 turns out to be:

$result .= "<li><a href=\"$link\" target=\"_blank\" ".

That string looks fine, as it is no different than the original, unedited code.

However, line 747 in your php might vary from the unedited version. Especially because of a discrepancy in that the unedited php is arranged a bit differently than what you have posted (disregarding the addition of the nofollow value).

$link = $item['link'];
                if ( strlen($desctype) ) {

                     .= "<li>$description</li>";
                } else {
                        $result .= "<li><a href=\"$link\" target=\"_blank\" ".
                                   "title=\"$tooltip\">$title<br />$related[1]</a></li>";
                }
            }
            return $result.'</ul>';
        }

Therein might lie the problem.

I also noticed in your code

"title=\"$tooltip\" "rel=\"nofollow\">$title<br>$related[1]</a></li>";

that there are seven quotation marks. You should try removing the ” before rel=

Finding what string is on line 747 for you will help figure out why you’re getting the error. Let me know what you find. I’ll check in to see if I can help.
