Making changes to the sidebar info

    Currently the sidebar on my blog just looks like a jumbled mess https://www.capitolrisk.co.uk. I do want most of these things there but just want it to look neater some how.

    What I would like to do is first, remove the list of links directly under the search field as they are exactly the same as the page links. So I would assume everything would then move up one place I hope, placing page links at the top?

    The next thing is to put more space between each page link, security link and security training link as most of the links take up two lines and everything at the moment is evenly spaced.

    This is my first blog so I am open to ideas if you think something else will make it look better.

    Thanks

  • What I would like to do is first, remove the list of links directly under the search field

    Try editing sidebar.php and looking for:

    <div id="pages">
<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=');?>
</ul>
</div>

    Removing that block of code should remove the list of links at the top of the sidebar.

    The next thing is to put more space between each page link, security link and security training link as most of the links take up two lines and everything at the moment is evenly spaced.

    Sorry – I don’t follow. Where is this? On the sidebar or in the posts?

    Hi,

    Thanks for that edit info. Exactly what I wanted to remove.

    On my sidebar I have links to ‘Pages’, ‘Security Links’ & ‘Training Links’. The problem I have with them are that they look like this (i’ll use the links under ‘Pages’ as an example:

    About Capitol Risk Security
    Service
    Capitol Risk Personal Security
    Training Overview
    Close Protection Security Services
    Contact Capitol Risk
    High Profile Security Incidents

    Due to the long descriptions, the way it is now makes it look like there are 7 pages, when in fact there are only 5. So what I would like to do is to have a larger gap between each page link, security link and training link if thats possible?

    Try adding:

    #rightColumn1 ul li {
line-height:1em;
margin-bottom:10px;
}

    to the bottom of style.css.
