 * add an opening `<ul>` before the `if(.....`
 * and add the closing `</ul>` after the `endif;`
 * and remove most of the stuff in the middle, as you will never see it again using
   widgets:
 *     ```
       <div id="sidebar">
       <ul>
         <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
             		<?php wp_register(); ?>
         		<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
         		<?php wp_meta(); ?>
         <?php endif; ?>
       </ul>
       <div class="box" id="share">
           <a href="/feed/"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url')?>/images/rss.jpg" alt="RSS feed" /></a>
           <a href="http://www.facebook.com/CHANGE_THIS"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url')?>/images/facebook.jpg" alt="Facebook" /></a>
           <a href="http://www.twitter.com/CHANGE_THIS"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url')?>/images/twitter.jpg" alt="Twitter" /></a>
         </div>
   
       </div><!-- ======= sidebar END ======= -->
       ```
   
 * to remove the bullet points in the sidebar, add a new line in style.css:
 * `#sidebar ul {list-style-type:none;}`
 * and then start with adjusting the padding and margins in `#sidebar ul` and `#
   sidebar ul li` (add these styles)
 *     ```
       #sidebar ul {padding:0; margin:0; }
       #sidebar ul li {padding:0 10px; margin:0; }
       ```
   
 * (to get full control, you may also need to style `#sidebar ul ul` and `#sidebar
   ul ul li` )
