customizing theme

    I would like to add a list of the most recent posts, most recent comments and categories to my footer. I attempted it once with the categories, but the categories listed too far to the right (outside of my footer), and also added bullets. ???

    I also want them in a 3 column format.
    example:
    Most Recent Posts(col 1) Most Recent Comments(col 2) Categories(Col 3)

    Any ideas how to do this. Bare in mind I am a novice, so as much detail would be great. 🙂
    Here’s my blog if you need to take a look:

    It’s not hard to do (i just recently modified my own theme in this exact way) but this presupposes you have some basic CSS and XHTML skills. Create 3 DIVS named whatever you want …

    <div id="Column 1"> <div id="Column 2"> <div id="Column 3">

    … all contained in another DIV.

    That’s why I’m confused, I don’t have

    • This is what I have.

      • <div id=”footer”>
      <div id=”footercolumns”>
      <div class=”inside”>
      <div class=”block first”>
      <b>Most Recent Posts</b>

      <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=postbypost&limit=7’); ?>
      </div>
      <div class=”inside”>
      <b>Most Recent Comments</b>
      <?php src_simple_recent_comments(‘6′,’75’,”,”); ?>
      </div>
      </div>
      </div>

    ah…then look in your theme’s stylesheet to see how it handles those <div>‘s

    I can’t seem to find it in my stylesheet.
    I’ve looked under navigation and I’ve searched for the code

    • Any other suggestions? Is there another code I should use to get my columns instead of what I’m using?

    If you want you can send me the original unaltered theme and I’ll see what I can do for you sometimes this week. len[AT]riteturnonly[DOT]com
