 * Hi. My blog is [http://noncollective.com/](http://noncollective.com/)
 * I am looking to change to colour of ‘Pages’ ‘links’ ‘categories’ ‘feeds’ and ‘
   meta’ in my sidebar. I’ve looked hard is my style.css and I can’t seem to work
   it out.
 * Also, is it possible to change the name of ‘Pages’?
 * Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. My style.css can be found here:

 * Thanks, David

       #sidebar ul {                 style.css (line 265)
       color:#CCCCCC;
       list-style-type:none;
       margin:0pt;
       padding-left:3px;
       text-transform:lowercase;
       }
       ```
   
 * Just change `color:#CCCCCC;` to any color you want

 * Does anyone know how I can change the name of ‘pages’?
 * Also what code do I put in text-transform to make it sentence-case, ie ‘Links’
   rather than ‘links’
 * Thanks

 * I assume you’re using widgets? After positioning the widget where you like it(
   in WP admin), click the three little lines on the right side to edit the widget’s
   options.
 * If you’re not using widgets, open up sidebar.php and look for the word ‘pages’(
   as text, not as code) and change it.

 * Hi Adam. Thanks.
 * I don’t use widgets. I tried changing ‘pages’ as you said but it just messed 
   everything up in the sidebar. Any other ideas?

 * The place you should change it is right here:
 *     ```
       <li class="pagenav">Pages<ul><li class="page_item page-item-2">
       ```
   
 * was that what you changed?

 * That place doesn’t seem to be in my code. See below:
 * <!– begin sidebar –>
    <div id=”sidebar”>
    -  <li id=”search”>
       <form id=”searchform” method=”get” action=”<?php echo $
      _SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]; ?>”> <div> <input type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” size=”15″/
      > <? /*<input type=”submit” value=”<?php _e(‘Search’); ?>” />*/?> </div> </
      form>
    -  <?php wp_list_pages(); ?>
       <?php get_links_list(); ?> <li id=”categories”
      ><?php _e(‘Categories:’); ?>
 *  -  <?php wp_list_cats(); ?>
 *  <li id=”archives”><?php _e(‘Archives:’); ?>
    -  <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); ?>
 *  <li id=”feeds”><?php _e(‘Feeds’); ?>
    - 
    - 
 *  <li id=”meta”><?php _e(‘Meta:’); ?>
    -  <?php wp_register(); ?>
    - <?php wp_loginout(); ?>
    -  <?php /*
    - [“><?php _e(‘Valid XHTML’); ?>](http://validator.w3.org/check/referer)
    - [XFN](http://gmpg.org/xfn/)
    - [“>WP](http://wordpress.org/)
    -  */?>
       <?php wp_meta(); ?>
 *  <?php /*
    <li id=”calendar”><?php _e(‘Calendar:’); ?>
    - <?php get_calendar(daylength); ?>
 *  */ ?>
 * </div>
    <!– end sidebar –>

 * That didn’t paste well. But `backticks` around code, or else paste that into

 * You’re looking for this:
 *     ```
       <?php wp_list_pages(); ?>
       ```
   
 * Make it this:
 *     ```
       <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=Your Name Here'); ?>
       ```
