• I’m a newbie. I’ve added RSS and an email subscribe link in the “appearance > editor”. When I refresh my website, the new additions to the sidebar are not in line with the rest of the sidebar.
    How do I iine these up? Many thanks, it looks really amateur.

  • You may have been better off using a text widget for those links versus editing the theme files.

    What do you mean? Can you explain. I’m sure I can delete the HTML that I added. Is there an easier way? I see RSS but not an “email subscribe”. Thanks!

    Thank you! You are right about the RSS widget and it fits nicely now.
    I still see no way to create a link to email subscribe other than the nasty thing I have going… but at least the one RSS widget look a lot better. THANKS!

    It appears you are using the “Default” theme so do keep in mind with the next update of WordPress you may end up over-writing all these changes you have made; and, you may need to re-edit as needed.

    That being the case, this may help with the “subscribe” link (from sidebar.php in the Default theme):

    <?php
    /**
     * @package WordPress
     * @subpackage Default_Theme
     */
    ?>
    <div id="sidebar" role="complementary">
      <ul>
        <li>
          <!-- Your special edits in between this new 'li' block -->
          <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=Horseandmancom&loc=en_US">Subscribe to horseandman.com by Email</a>
        </li>
        <?php /* Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. */
