    Aloha! Ok so I finally decided to take my wordpress experience to the next level and downloaded wordpress,added and customized a new theme. Really impressed and how functional everything has been, and the plugins are just awesome, I may never go back to Dreamweaver again!

    Anyway, I am having trouble with formatting the text box widget on the sidebar. It says you can add HTML and I did have parapgraph and text formatting tags but they weren't working. I then removed them and tried pasting in formatted text and that didn't work. Checking the box to add paragraphs doesn't work either. I would love to space this text out a bit and add paragraphs and even a photo. Is this possible and if so how?

    just add the formatting for the class .textwidget at the end of the style.css of the theme: (anything, just for instance extra border, and some paragraph formatting, image background, etc):

    .textwidget {border: 2px solid green; padding-top:10px; }
    .textwidget p {margin:0 10px 10px; color:green; }
    .textwidget img {padding:5px; background-color:#555; }

    and so on - get the idea?

    That is the problem though, I don't see anything in the css that indicates this text widget. I see sidebar widget and the other content but not this text box.

    that's what I mean, because it is not there yet, you need to add it, make new lines with the above formatting ...

    I just tried this and img and p work fine, but the border doesn't show up.

    Appreciate any clues.

    why would you want to remove the links in a footer, usually the link is the creditnote to the original author of the theme... and unless you create a theme yourselve please let the link be in it's place
