I am trying to figure out why the links I am wanting to post in my sidebar as regular links with a bullet form in front of them isn't working. I basically want it to look like the footer links or archives, just in my sidebar instead. Here are the pictures;
In this picture you can see everything is clean and well done

In the following picture everything messes up for some reason

Here are the codes I used for the 3 links;
<p>Disclaimer</p>
<p>Frequently Asked Questions</p>
I am also wondering why the links are overlapping the end of each link everytime u click them. For exmaple, click disclaimer once (the link will be http://triplecz.com/disclaimer/) but then once that page opens click disclaimer again and it will lead you to a 404 page because the link is now (http://triplecz.com/disclaimer/disclaimer). This is also now happening with the links on the 404 page that I put. I know I'm not too good at this type of stuff but that's why im asking here.
Those links are in an unordered list, which probably has css to change the size etc. Also, the reason your disclaimer link breaks when you're not on the main page is because its a relative link. If you make it "/disclaimer" it will link properly on all pages. Here is an example that should work:
<ul>
<li><a href="/disclaimer">Disclaimer</a></li>
<li><a href="/AnotherLink">Link2</a></li>
</ul>
Thank you for the reply, my first question is, why do you have
in between instead of <p>, whats the difference ?
Second question is I thought of the CSS aspect of it but I can't seem to find anything related to it in the sidebar section of the style.css and I couldn't find anything under ''unordered''. Exactly where should I look ?
The <p> tag is for paragraphs. The <ul> tag is an unordered list, and inside the unordered list are the <li> list items.
You will want to look for any style that modifies the ul or li tags as well as any containers they may be in. I can't tell without seeing the site, but it would include any classes or ids of any objects surrounding the links
do tag clouds fall in the unordered list ? Because when I tried to put one on my sidebar it was giving me the same results, as in ugly font, bolded out and not centered, basically a mess. Where would I change this in my style.css ? My website is (www.triplecz.com), sorry about that.
