Thanks again: but no change, so sidebar.php is back as it was. I looked at tamba’s page, but I’ve no idea what I’d be changing the value “to”… so I won’t tamper there. Too tired to think more tonight. Your patient help is appreciated. TR

The site URL is

if you mouse over the “general” and “introduction” links in Categories you’ll see the problem.

Goodnight
