Formatting

In the CSS.
I think the Categories and Archives headings would be #menu ul li and then the lists themselves would be #menu ul li ul li? I am not positive, those get confusing when I am not looking right at them.
The comments link would be styled with the feedback class.

But you don’t need to go there.
Archives / Categories are styled using the CSS. The output from each is a list, so it is being correctly styled as such.
If you don’t want bullets, remove them :

By the way, in order to change virtually ANY aspect of the appearance of a wordpress weblog, you do not need to know any php at all. None. All you do need is a willingness to poke around the stylesheet ??

@ unpoedic : I must correct a misapprehension lest inexperienced readers be confused. If any one marks up a list in html / xhtml the output by default will be in a bulleted list. Nothing to do with WordPress or php. As the guys say if you do not like them then turn em off in the css with list-style-type: none applied to the relevant selector. (#menu ul would do it)

Yessir, the business of bulleted lists, etc., I believe has at last resonated in that stubborn spot between my ears. Thank-you–all–for your assistance.
Furthermore: My attempts to customize hyperlinks within the “feedback” class have failed, whereas the code [see below] works correctly when tested elsewhere. What other method would you recommend trying?
a.feedback {
background : url(img/date-pointer_o.gif) left center no-repeat;
border-bottom : none;
color : #444;
display : block;
font-size : 9px;
margin : 15px 0 25px 0;
padding: 0 0 0 15px;
}
a.feedback:hover {
background-color : #fafafa;
background-image : url(img/date-pointer.gif);
border-bottom : none;
color : #444;

In what way does it appear incorrect ?
display: inline;
may be useful though ?

does
.feedback a {
background : url(img/date-pointer_o.gif) left center no-repeat;
border-bottom : none;
color : #444;
display : block;
font-size : 9px;
margin : 15px 0 25px 0;
padding: 0 0 0 15px;
}
.feedback a:hover {
background-color : #fafafa;
background-image : url(img/date-pointer.gif);
border-bottom : none;
color : #444;

help?
“feedback” isn’t the ID or class for the a tag, but it is in the wrapper div class. That’s how you read hte CSS from left to right. In the “feedback” class, mark up a tags like this……

IMHO tech. That should be fine for unpoedic. but:
background: #fafafa url('img/date-pointer.gif'); might be bettter.
Just my 2c.

Y’all are wonderful. ??

Well we try. Thanks.

Hey guys just need some elaboration on what you’ve been talking to unpoedic about.
Basically you can see my problem here:
https://www.brokenkode.com/makeshift.php
I’m trying to build a set of static pages. Now for the main page I wanted to hide the links, and calander etc and have those come up in seperate pages. So in the css I put something along the lines of
#menu {
display:none
}
However when I’ve set up my static pages using this tutorial,
https://techgnome.anderson-website.net/posts/2004/02/19/static-wp-pages-made-easy/
, I got the links to work, but I can for the life of me pin point which part of the css actually formats that particular section.
Thanks.
