 * Hi,
 * The “Recent Posts” and “Popular Posts” widgets on my right sidebar are squashed
   together. An earlier poster mentioned that the errors were listed in the w3 validation
   report, but I’m not quite sure how to fix them or where to even find them in 
   admin.

 * Thanks in advance!

 * in typo.css of the theme –
    delete the ‘height:20px;’ from the two following 
   styles:
 *     ```
       #sidebar li ul li {
       	font-family: "Lucida Grande", Tahoma;
       	font-size: 10px;
       	font-weight: lighter;
       	font-variant: normal;
       	height:20px;
       	text-transform: uppercase;
       	color: #666666;
       	text-align: left;
       	letter-spacing: 0.3em;
       	border-bottom:#f3f3f3 solid 1px;
       	display:block;
       }
       #sidebar li ul li a {
       	color: #666666;
       	padding:3px;
       	height:20px;
       	display:block;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks alchymyth! The sidebar is working properly now.
 * One last issue: I choose “full text” under Admin – Settings – Reading, but the
   front page still shows excerpts. Another poster mentioned that I needed to replace
   the_excerpt() with the_content() somewhere, but I can’t locate where to do this.
 * Thanks again in advance!

 * the box that you ticked in ‘ssettings’ is only for rss feeds, not the front page.
 * however, it seems that you have used the ‘more’ tags while writing your articles–
   that will lead to the ‘read more’ link on the front page.
    that would indicate
   that your theme is already using ‘the_content()’.
 * edit your articles and remove the ‘more’ tag, and you should get the full articles
   on the front page.
