If you still have widgets on your right sidebar, then I’m afraid that, in that theme, there’s isn’t an obvious way to target the fonts etc in the widgets without potentially impacting the rest of your site. The theme’s functions.php file would need to be modified to add the necessary styling classes/hooks.

Thanks. At least that reassures me that I’ve not overlooked something obvious. 🙂
I’ll check in to the functions file and see how scary editing that is for me.

What about adding a second sidebar on the other side? Would that allow me to build it from the beginning and do what I want with it? I could just carry on putting photos and pages on the right side.
What about adding a second sidebar on the other side?
That would involve a major theme re-build because the current theme simply isn’t structured to allow for a left-hand sidebar.
As it stands, there’s still plenty of room at the bottom of your right sidebar for more page links and photos (although I’d keep the latter fairly small, if I was you). What you seem to need right now is more control over the right sidebar widget styling. Have a look at:
