 * Hello,
 * Can anyone tell me how I can edit how my widgets (like monthly archives, blogroll
   etc.) look in the sidebar? I’ve been tinkering around in the sidebar.php file
   but I can’t seem to pinpoint where any of the widgets crop up?
 * Thank you.

 * I would think you would want to do that in your theme’s `style.css`

 * Thanks for getting back to me Samboll, Ive managed to edit the styles to the 
   widgets ok now, I was just a little unsure as to why changing any of the content
   in the sidebar.php file had no effect on any of the widgets on my page and wondered
   where the content was being pulled from?

 * if you use any widgets at all the dynamic sidebar takes over and changes to `
   sidebar.php` will not be reflected.
    If not using any widgets then you can make
   edits to `sidebar.php` hope that makes sense
