    Hi,
    I'm planning on deleting the meta section in my sidebar as I've put the log-in part in the footer. Just wondering beforehand, what does
    <?php wp_meta(); ?>
    do? Is it important? If it is then I'll decide where to put it.
    Also how do I change the
    <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Extras</h2>' ); ?>
    and
    <?php get_links_list(); ?>
    parts?

    Thanks

    what does <?php wp_meta(); ?> do?

    If you look at the default theme, you'll see the "Meta" section at the bottom of your sidebar. i tjust provides easy access to register, log in to your admin area, and RSS feeds. No, it's not necessary, but a lot of people like it.

    Also how do I change the <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Extras</h2>' ); ?> and <?php get_links_list(); ?> parts?

    Change them to what? The general answer to your general question is to "just change them", because you can. If you want a more specific answer, you need to say what you want to change them *to*.

    Yeah, I know that the log-in and admin links are there, (<?php wp_register(); ?> and <?php wp_loginout(); ?>) but what does the <?php wp_meta(); ?> part actually do? It's the third down the list on meta. It doesn't seem to do anything...

    I realised the extras bit.. me being stupid.
    What I meant was the blogroll part. I wanted to re-name it... Just realised how to though, so nevermind about that :)

    Thanks

    Oh, I see what you're asking. it's like the wp_head() in your header file. It's a place for hooks. You know, if you want to write an extra function - that's where you call it in.

    Alone, it doesn't do anything, but you should leave it there, just in case you get a theme or plugin that needs it (or you write one yourself).
