 * Hi all
    I have the following code in my a sidebar (where the widgets are shown)
   php file which ic s included in my index page. I only have recent posts and categories
   in the widgets. The code seems to add html divs but I don’t know where it comes
   from. Where is the widget code stored? Thank you
 *     ```
       <?php if( is_home() || is_front_page() ) : ?>
       <!--shows if index -->
       <div class="art-sidebar1" style="padding-left: 15px;width:200px;">
       </div>
   
       <?php else : ?>
   
       <?php endif; ?>
   
       <?php if (!art_sidebar(1)): ?>
          <?php _e('Search', 'kubrick'); ?>
       <form method="get" name="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
       <input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" style="width: 95%;" />
       	<input class="art-button" type="submit" name="search" value="<?php _e('Search', 'kubrick'); ?>"/>
       </form>
           <?php _e('Bookmarks', 'kubrick'); ?>
       <ul>
             <?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&categorize=0'); ?>
             </ul>
       <?php endif ?>
       </div>
       </div>
       ```

 * Do you have any function called register_sidebar() in the file functions.php 
   of your theme? If so, check this reference, there are two arguments, “before_widget”,
   and “after_widget” which allow you to change the markup surrounding every widget
   added in this sidebar.

 * Thanks that was very useful I just didn’t understand where it was coming from.
   I have now got rid of all the garbage formatting and left it like this:
 *     ```
       if (function_exists('register_sidebars')) {
       	register_sidebars(1, array(
       		'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" style="width:250px;float:left;">'.'<!--- BEGIN Widget --->',
       		'before_title' => '<!--- BEGIN WidgetTitle --->',
       		'after_title' => '<!--- END WidgetTitle --->',
       		'after_widget' => '<!--- END Widget --->'.'</div>'
       	));
       }
       ```
