 * Wondering if I can get some help with the style sheet on my latest wordpress 
   blog. Somehow I’ve messed up the post-count numbers so they now appear below 
   the appropriate section in the sidebar. Can anyone point me to the correct area
   of the css to fix this, and how?

 * One way to take care of that would be including the post-count in the `<a>` tags.
   Right now, the theme is outputting something like this:
 * `<li class="cat-item cat-item-1"><a href="http://www.connormacdougall.com/news/
   category/riding/" title="View all posts filed under Riding">Riding</a> (3)`
 * You’ll want to change the sidebar.php file to so that it outputs:
 * `<li class="cat-item cat-item-1"><a href="http://www.connormacdougall.com/news/
   category/riding/" title="View all posts filed under Riding">Riding (3)</a>`

 * Hmm…I’ve been using the widgets included with my theme (Lavinya Black), but for
   the moment have simply shut off the post count. Will need to work out a solution
   down the road.
 * Thanks for your help though!
