 * Is there a way to format the links in the sidebar to be side-by-side vs. on different
   lines?
 * IE. I’d like it to look like this: link 1, link 2, link 3
 * vs.
 * Link 1
    Link 2 Link 3
 * Any insight would be great.
 * Thanks

 * Unless a plug-in exists which does that already, I suggest you do the following;
 * By default, links are displayed in a list form, i.e.
    [ul] followed by a variety
   of list elements [li]. What you want to do is to discard that markup and have
   nothing but the [a] tags, for whatever reason you fancy. Have a look at the functions
   which generate menu elements and ‘rob’ them from the code which makes them structured
   lists. Back up original functions before hacking them.

 * In the sidebar? Yeah there’s a way to do that. Go to Manage > Categories, and
   go to the category you want to edit. Then decide how you want it to go, by name
   or whatever. If it’s a really random way of doing it, though, I really don’t 
   know what to tell you.

 * I’ve been trying to do this same thing..
 * I put ul li in my style sheet, but I have no clue how to make it so they align
   sibe by side. i tried looking fo a plugin but it seems they don’t have one.

 * Actually, I just fixed it! yipee!

   simple.
