   Hi,

   i want to make changes to the sidebar listings, but i just cannot find where abouts this is being generated from.
   I'm using widgets by the way and the html generated is as follows:
   

   <li id="categories-3" class="widget widget_categories"><h2 class="sidebartitle">Categories</h2><ul>
   <li class="cat-item cat-item-3 current-cat">
   <a href="http://www.mySite.com/blog/?cat=3" title="View all posts filed under Cat1">Cat1</a> (3)
   <ul class='children'>
   <li class="cat-item cat-item-4">
   <a href="http://www.mySite.com/blog/?cat=4" title="View all posts filed under Cat1-sub">Cat1-sub</a> (2)
   </li>
   </ul>
   </li>

   ...or do i have to write in the styles?

   Write them into the stylesheet...

   thanks for the response...
   so presumably i would style the li tags with a class of .cat-item and also .current-cat?

   also...the entire block of html after the <div id="sidebar"> is contained in UL tags and i want to take everything out of this so the ul tag can start below the category <h2> tag...any idea how i do that?

   sidebar.php in your theme? As a guess...

   yeah i've altered that....i've actually integrated it with my page.php to make things easier.
   I'm presuming the bit of code generating all the widget stuff is this bit:
   <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>

   ...but i don't know where to find the bits of code that make up the 'dynamic_sidebar'....if this is the correct snippet anyway?
   Any ideas more than appreciated

   Yes that's right, check your functions.php (theme file) for widget related code...
