   Hi,

   I am trying to work out why some of my widget titles appear as white and some appear as black. I've tried searching my style.css file for the font colour #2C2B2B, but there's nothing in there. I have no idea what's causing some titles to be that colour. Any idea?

   Oh, and by the way, the colour problems seem to be in Chrome, but not IE - haven't checked FF

   you seem to have quite few unclosed <font> and <strong> tags in the sidebar widgets; particular in the 'ladies events' widget.

   also reflected in the validation report:

   also, try to use a browser inspection tool such as Firbug to investigate what does the styling of the widget titles.

   Thanks for this, but how do i change the font tags? I thought it was all done by PHP. Also, why would it work in IE, and not Chrome?

   I am using Chrome's developer tools to identify the styling, but having problems identifying it.

   difficult to tell from the outside;

   - how is the content of the 'ladies events' widget done?

   look at that first ...

   typical section (how it shows in the browser):

   <div><span>Starts:</span> October 27, 2012 - 6:00 pm</div>
   <div><span>Ends:</span> October 28, 2012 - 12:00 am</div><br>
   <div><span><font color="#2C2B2B"> <strong><a href="http://www.epsomhockeyclub.org/category/social-events/"> Click here to read more</a><strong> </span></div>

   this section should read with the tags closed properly:

   <div><span>Starts:</span> October 27, 2012 - 6:00 pm</div>
   <div><span>Ends:</span> October 28, 2012 - 12:00 am</div><br>
   <div><span><font color="#2C2B2B"> <strong><a href="http://www.epsomhockeyclub.org/category/social-events/"> Click here to read more</a></strong></font> </span></div>

   keep in mind that you have to close many of the html tags yourself - there is nothing 'done by PHP'.
