   My site is basically up and running:
   http://www.philplourd.com

   But I have a few formatting desires...and would love some assistance. I am using the "linen" theme and I wonder:

   (1) Is there a way to tighten up the space in the sidebar? That is, have less blank space between "BLOGROLL" header and the links that follow? (Ditto for everything else on the sidebar.)

   (2) Is there a way to make the menu labels bold and/or a different typeface?

   (3) Is there a way to alter the label/headline over the column section?

   Thanks in advance...

   Phil

   put at bottom of stylesheet
   

   #sidebar ul li.widget ul {
        margin: 0 !important;
   }

   2) Is there a way to make the menu labels bold and/or a different typeface?
   Change the typefaces list to whatever fonts you want - again, at end of stylesheet
   

   .wf-active .nav a {
      font-weight: bold !important;
        font-family: puritan-1,puritan-2,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif !important;
   }

   (3) Is there a way to alter the label/headline over the column section?
   That styling is controlled by these CSS sections in stylesheet,
   Change as you like. if you put !important after the value of what you are changing it should work regardless of where and what theme stylesheet you put it in.

   .wf-active .entry h2.title, .wf-active .single-post-title {
       font-family: ronnia-1,ronnia-2,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
       font-style: normal;
       font-variant: normal;
       font-weight: 700;
   }
   
   .entry h2.title a {
     color: #444444;
     text-decoration: none;
   }

   At some point I will want to understand why what you suggested works (new to CSS)...but for now: a big thank you, because it did in fact work just as I hoped.
