   I am in desperate need of help here...
   I would like to add a sidebar to my blog - http://www.hottest-toys-for-christmas.com (removed it a while back).
   I would like the sidebar content to be displayed from left to right across the top of the blog (please see the navigation links at the top of the above blog - the links just below the header).

   I want to use categories on the blog instead of the navigation links already created.

   However, when I add a sidebar, the links are displayed from top to bottom (http://www.hottest-toys-for-christmas.com/puppy/) which is not what I would like the blog to look like.

   Care to please assist in this regard?

   Highly appreciated.

   Hi,

   Sounds like a couple of things...

   First, is your "sidebar" intended to be a sidebar in the true sense (widgetized and all that stuff)? Maybe what you want is a horizontal element that contains only a horizontal navigation list of categories. In that case you can create a horizontal nav list using the wp_list_categories tag, and configure and style it as you wish.

   Alternatively, you CAN make a sidebar horizontal if you wish, but you have to style it to be across the top rather than on the side.

   To make your nav list horizontal in either case, identify the class or id of your nav list, and add display: inline; to it in your stylesheet. This will make the list display across the top rather than descend to the bottom.

   Access this link for that and everything you want to know about horizontal nav menus.

   Hope this helps...
