Those “dots” are because the elements in your widgets are a list – and lists have bullets in your theme. You can get rid of them by adding a custom CSS plug in (JetPack or Custom CSS manager for example) and then adding this CSS:
ul.xoxo {
list-style: none outside none;
}
how can it be a list when it is just a image widge?
That’s just how widgets are structured – if you look at the code:
<ul class="xoxo">
<li id="hwim-11" class="widget-container widget_hwim">
<a href="http://drstile.com/breast-surgery/">
</li>
<li id="hwim-6" class="widget-container widget_hwim">
<li id="hwim-5" class="widget-container widget_hwim">
<li id="hwim-4" class="widget-container widget_hwim">
</ul>
well that is dumb why they did that but it worked thanks alog.
LOL – I think it goes back to when sidebars/widgets traditionally contained lists of links — but you’re right it’s not too logical in every instance :).
