 * Hi all
    I’d like to replace the “Meta” Sidebar entry (left sidebar in my “Dark
   City 10” theme) with links to the latest entries of every category. Example output:
   <Category 1> <title> <Author> <Date>
 * <Category 2>
    <title>
 * <date>
 * etc.
 * I think I’d have to solve this with the post ID’s and the Category ids. but since
   I’m completely new to this, I have NO CLUE how to realize it (though I managed
   to change a lot by altering some of the PHP code, I never even found out how 
   to actually wipe the META bar away.)
 * Could anyone please write code for this? or does a plugin exist for that?
 * Thank you so much!!!

 * Never mind, I found the “Latest Post from each Category” plugin ([Here](http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/latest-post-from-each-category-plugin-for-wordpress/)).
   
   Still, could anyone tell me how to replace the “Meta” link area with custom content?

 * Edit the sidebar.php code and delete/replace it.
 * Note. If you are using widgets… no matter what you edit in the code – the default
   widgets that come with WP will always overwrite it.

 * The sidebar.php doesn’t work because it seemingly only controls the right sidebar,
   but not the left.
    Afaik I do not use widgets (what are those anyway?)

 * Forget the widgets…
 * In that case the code should be somewhere else.
    header.php? leftbar.php? left.
   php?
 * (when not giving a link to the theme’s page nobody will be able to look at the
   file of that specific theme)

 * header.php – my first guess was correct.
