 * Hello,
    [My site](http://krauseinsuranceservices.com/blog/) is just about complete,
   for some reason I can’t seem to find where to edit the top items of the side 
   bar. If anybody can point me in the right direction that would be outstanding!
 * Thanks Everybody!

 * The side bar content is usually handled in the appearances/widgets, sounds like
   you have “recent blog posts” twice and categories right now, just drag and drop
   the box you don’t want to appear in the sidebar.

 * Thanks, I will try that.
 * The theme I modified to make appear seamless with the rest of the new site….which
   is waiting on a few changes. (I started with blankslate)

 * I must have messed something up, because when it displays any sidebar item it
   shows the top links….forgive me if my PHP skills are nil. I suspect it would 
   be this code in sidebar.php
 *     ```
       <aside id="sidebar">
   
       <?php if ( is_active_sidebar('primary-widget-area') ) : ?>
   
       <div id="primary" class="widget-area" style="position:absolute;" align="left">
       <?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=15'); ?>
   
       <ul class="sid" style="position:absolute;" align="left">
   
       <?php dynamic_sidebar('primary-widget-area'); ?>
       <div class="navigation" style="position:absolute;" align="left">
   
       <div class="alignright" style="position:absolute;" align="left">
            <?php next_posts_link('« Previous Entries') ?>
       </div>
       <div class="alignright" style="position:absolute;" align="left">
            <?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries »') ?>
       </div>
       </div>
       <ul id="elsewhere" style="position:absolute;" align="left">
       <?php get_links(5, '<li>', '</li>', ' ', FALSE, '_id', FALSE, FALSE, 3, FALSE, TRUE); ?>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * My only reason for assuming that is it is due to the
    <-li-> tags, thanks!
