@teri: Sorry for not replying sooner! I’m moderating dozens of comments just now. This blog need some immediate attention from my part.

Love the food blog and the design! I see you implemented a sweet solution for those dropdowns. Nice!

is there a way to style the a widget with a drop down menu? Like the categories and archives widgets. The drop down menu is so ugly. Is there any way to change the way that looks?

This site is very helpful. Thanks.

I did it like this, #right h3 a.rsswidget{ color: #FFFFFF;}
and that did the trick!

Ha, now you’re stuck being my best friend. That’s what you get for saving strangers’ lives.

Seriously, you are too kind.

I checked your style.css. You’re on to something there, but your sidebar’s div ID isn’t “sidebar” it’s “right”.

Try changing the last style to “#right h3 a.rsswidget” instead. That should do it!

Well, no luck for me. Any other ideas?

Nope! At the end would be good though, so you can easily find it later.

Adrian- does it matter where in the code I place this?

@JJ Loy: that’s because that panel’s title is a link, so it’s blue. Just add “a.rsswidget: color: #FFFFFF;” to your style.css file (probably under Appearance > Editor).

Hi- I am very inexperienced at all this, but determined to sort it out.
I would be your best friend if you would look at my site and advise as to how to make my rss widget’s font color match the rest of my widget titles.

It looks so sloppy, but I’m lost.
