 * hi everyone,
 * I’m sure there’s a way, but I can’t figure it out. I’d like to have a section
   of my right sidebar with pages seperated from the rest of the articles listed.
   Currently I’m doing this with links to an old site inside of a text widget. But
   I’d like to get everything loaded onto wordpress and laid out correctly.
 * On a side note, I also can’t figure out why my text in the header is black. It
   used to be white, and somewhere along the way, I made it black, but I’m not sure
   what caused it!
 * Any help is appreciated!

 * We meet again mjblake. 🙂
 * Issue #2 – The colour of the header title is determined by the following in your
   style sheet …
 * #header h3 a{
    font-weight:100; color: #000; text-decoration: none; font-size:
   220%; letter-spacing: 1px; }
 * Change the line `color: #000;` to whatever you want. If you want it white (as
   it was) then it should read `color: #fff;`
 * Issue #1 – I don’t quite understand the question. What are you trying to accomplish?

 * Well then thank you again, LenK!
 * I’ve got all of my articles in the right sidebar. I want to have my book reviews
   show up in the section below the articles. But if I make a new page, I don’t 
   know how to make it show up below (in the “review section”) rather than with 
   the rest of the articles. So far, every new page I create automatically shows
   up in the article list.
 * By the way, I was totally ignoring the h3 header since I assumed that would be
   a very low level header. Shouldn’t h1 be the top header?

 * _“Shouldn’t h1 be the top header?”_
 * There are those in the SEO-community that say yes. But that is not how this theme
   is constructed. Open `header.php` and you’ll see this …
 * `<h3><a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h3
   >`
 * … contained within the DIV called “header”
 * With respect to the second issue, if I understand correctly you want this particular
   page (and possibly others in the future) to show up in a list separate from the
   other list? Are you using widgets?

 * I’m not sure if we’re on the same page about the second issue…
 * I’d like _every_ page to have the same thing on the right-hand side. A list of
   articles, _then_ a list of book reviews.
 * But I can’t get a new page to _not_ show up in the list of articles, even if 
   it doesn’t belong there.
 * I’m using a couple of widgets. That’s how I’m getting the book reviews to appear
   now. I don’t know much about widgets yet.

 * Okay, I’m fairly certain we’re talking about the same thing here. These 2 lists,
   one under Articles and the other under Book Reviews, are pages and not posts,
   yes?
 * Make note of the individual Page IDs as you’ll need them.
 * You’ll be using 2 Page Widgets for this. Insert the first Page Widget and call
   it whatever you want – List of Articles if that’s what you want. Now, WordPress
   will automatically include ALL of your site’s pages and display them as a list
   via that widget. However, you have the ability to OMIT pages from appearing. 
   Look at the bottom of that particular widget and you’ll see an option for excluding
   certain pages by inserting the applicable Page ID(s). In other words, if you 
   don’t want the pages with the IDs of 4,5 and 6 from appearing in the List of 
   Articles page widget then insert those IDs in the appropriate field.
 * Do the exact same thing in a second pages widget. Take a look at the linked image
   below for clarification …

 * In this image I have 2 page widgets – 1 called List of Articles and the 2nd Book
   Reviews. The first widget will display all pages EXCEPT for the pages with the
   IDs of 1,2 and 3. The 2nd widget will display all pages EXCEPT for those with
   the IDs of 4,5 and 6.

   this. I just like helping out when I can. 🙂

 * one last question (maybe)…
 * This page showed no sidebar on the right…

 * This may be relevant-
 * I may have changed the name of the article(s) to save space on the page. When
   I realized this may have screwed things up, I tried to go back and fix it… maybe
   I made it worse…?

 * Issue #1 – It appears you have a wayward <div> tag. Looking at the source code
   of the post called “Review – First, Break All the Rules: What the World’s Greatest
   Managers Do Differently” I see this …
 *     ```
       <p>Some people are strategic thinkers. Some people are mathematicians. Some people are analytical. Trying to fit a person into the wrong position will be disastrous and unproductive for the employee, the manager, and the company.</p>
   
       <div>
   
       <p>This book goes a long way towards examining what really makes great managers great. A wise student of management would include it in their collection. Heck, I’ve read it twice already!</p>
       ```
   
 * Where did that tag come from? You must have inadvertently inserted it in your
   post.
 * Issue #2: – When clicking on the other 2 post titles I get 404 errors. When you
   edit the permalink be sure to update the post.

 * One down, two to go! Yes, I don’t know how that div tag got in there, I wasn’t
   even editing that page. (?)
 * I’m afraid I don’t know what to do about Issue #2. I thought I was fixing it,
   but have made no progress as yet. Thoughts?

   it and call it Test Page Two.

 * Sorry, LenK. I’m not getting it. I tried to do just like your image. I changed
   the name of the permalink, clicked ok, clicked update… and got the same error
   message.
 * Maybe you can explain it in a different way?
