   I am new to WordPress and am still feeling my way around. I want to create a set of clickable texts in the sidbar that link to email addresses. Where can I find out about how this is done?

   Thanks

   Maybe you want a plugin like this? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-text-widget/

   Or you can just make the links manually in a normal text widget. <a href="mailto:foo@bar.com">Email Foo!</a>

   I have used the standard WordPress text widget. Just drag it to the side bad and add the necessary html or javascript code. I have used this as a text scroller that fades in and out at:

   I just helped myself to the code from the excellent http://www.dynamicdrive.com - (lots of very useful stuff here).
   N.B. I am NOT a CODER, but even I can understand it!

   The fader script is at:

   You can have clickable hyperlinks - email addresses will work.
   N.B. In this example I set the border width to 0px so just the text appears.
