# Widget Title Variable?

 * I am blue snail theme and they didn’t have it widgetized yet, but I have been
   able to get it mostly as it was except one thing. I can not seem to figure out
   what variable the title of the widget is. The reason I want to know is so I can
   keep the base stylesheet the same and only have changed some php code.
 * `<li id="widgettitle">`
    Where the “widgettitle” is, is where I will likely need
   to concatenate the variable for the widget title.
 * Unfortunately, I have not yet found it digging through other posts or documentation.
   If I have just overlooked it, sorry. Thank you for the assistance.

 * I’m also looking for the widget title variable so that i can give my widgets 
   an “id”.
    The variable i’ve seen in other pages/themes that refer to the title
   is: %1$s
 * However when i place it into my “functions.php”:
 * <?php
    if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebars’) ) register_sidebars(2, array(‘
   before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”menuHead”>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’, ‘before_title’
   => ‘<ul id=”%1$s”>
    - <h2>’,
       ‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>
 *  - ‘,
       )); ?>
 * It doesn’t work..:(. My PHP experience is extremely limited so any help would
   be appreciated.
