   Hi I'm having this problem where I want to a div as separator/ title for my widgets only I don't know where to find the code for position of the widgets. This is what mean:

   ie:

   <h2>Search<h2> (have the title of the widget that is formed by the CSS instaed of the standard title font)

   next the widget; (search widget)

   followed by a div tag that's a separator.

   and then a new title for the next widget

   <h2>New posts<h2>
   New post widgets
   separator div tag

   and so on.. :D

   Is there a way of doing this within the sidebar php? Or anyway of doing it at all?

   Best achieved using the before_widget and after_widget parameters for register_sidebar in your theme's functions.php.

   thanks Esmi! however most of that in the link went right over my head. I tried to add the div tag in the after_widget part but it just went crazy and returning a syntax error. I hope it's not too much to ask for a step by step guide.

   also I want to do some editting to title font size but so that it has different font styles. here's what I mean.

   I want the font to be formatted like this:
   <h3><'strong'>Search</'strong'> all posts</h3> splitting up the first and second words with the first being in bold. this is the code but I don't know how to automate it.
   

   'before_title'  => '<h2 class=\"widgettitle\">',
   'after_title'   => '</h2>' ); ?>

   'before_widget' => '<li id=\"%1$s\" class=\"widget %2$s\">',
       'after_widget'  => '</li>',

   also after ''should I add the div tag?

   thx

   Is there a way just to edit the order of the widgets like a html where the ones you add are actually in the code. That seems the easiest way of me to edit them individually.

   okay I screwed up the file after put the div in.

   <?php
   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {
      register_sidebar(array(
          'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
          'after_widget' => '</li>''<div class="hr"></div>',
          'before_title' => '<strong><h3 class="widgettitle">',
          'after_title' => '</h3></strong>',
      ));
   }
   ?>

   I keep getting this error where ever I put it: Parse error:

   syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /functions.php on line 5

   and unable to access the dashboard after. I know I can easily fix the error by rewriting it with the original and ftping it up but I don't know where to put the div for inclusion.

   the last komma seems to be too much:
   

   </h3></strong>',

   I'm not sure what you mean alchymyth, do you mean I have to remove the last comma? Or something else.

   yes, take it away, it seems to indicate that enother array element is following, which is not.
   so it should look like this:

   </h3></strong>'
