 * Hi, let me see if I understood it right.
 * You have a the main page where I can see your “Latest Publicacionts” but now 
   you want a another page where you could see another “blog”? like another kind
   of posts? if this is the case you could create a new “Category”, so then when
   you write your posts you choose the category, would that work for you?
 * Regards.

 * Hi MDBlogs!
 * I think the only way we can help is if you post the code of your sidebar.php 
   here, do it using the “code” button above the “Message” area, os it reads better.
 * Regards, hope we’ll help you with that soon 😉

 * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-text-widgets-look-normal/#post-1637551)
 * What do you mean by “normal”? Well I see your text widgets doesn’t have padding(
   inner margin) that makes them look “out of context”; you could wrap the content
   of your text widgets with a div adding padding:
 *     ```
       <div style="padding:10px;">
         Your text here...
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Now if you don’t want the blue bar for the title in the right column, you should
   edit the style.css file of your theme, go to line 171 and edit the “background”
   property, for example, make them grey:
 * `background: #CCC;`
 * Hope this help you, let me know if I didn’t got your problem in the right way.
 * Regards

 * Ok, you are forgoting some html at the start first line is:
 * `action="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify" method="post" ...`
 * Replace it with:
 * `<form action="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify" method="post" ...`
 * That should make it work.
 * Let me know if you have luck.

 * Hello danblaker:
 * Let me see if i got the idea, so basicaly you want to have a php page wich you
   can code however you want, but you still want to use the WP functions, am I right?
   If that’s the case I definetely think you should use [Page Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates),
   this way you can create a html/php file inside the WP file system, then you can
   create a new page and use your php file as a template of the page.
 * Benefits:
    – You can code yout php file however you want. – The page is still
   in WordPress so you manage it. – You can reuse the page template.
 * Hope this helps.
    Regards.

 * Hi double_dd:
 * That should do the trick, do the change in the loop.php in the line: 138, that’s
   for the frontpage loop.
 * Let me know how it goes.

 * Hi Calvin!
 * Let’s see:
 * 1) Go to the style.css file inside your theme and edit the “hr” class (line 355),
   change the **“height”** value from the current **“121px”** to something smaller.
 * 2) Same than #1 step, that class controls both gaps height.
 * Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
 * Best Regards.

 * Hi eatanicecream!
 * Ok let’s see..
 * If that’s the exact code in your sidebar.php, then you are not using the Links
   Widget, you are using php and WP API code to include the links (simulating a 
   widget structure), this is the part of the code that inserts your links:
 * `<?php get_links(2, '<li>', '</li>', '', TRUE, 'url', FALSE); ?>`
 * You are sorting your links by the “url” name. You should tell the function to
   sort your links by “rating” instead:
 * `<?php get_links(2, '<li>', '</li>', '', TRUE, 'rating', FALSE); ?>`
 * Then go to your Dashboard and set different ratings for your links, that should
   work. If you don’t feel like wanting to use the “rating” parameter, you can use
   the “rel” or “description” doing the same process as I told before.
 * Note: [get_links](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_links) is
   a deprecated function of WP, in the future you should use [wp_list_bookmarks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_bookmarks).
 * Note #2: Updated to WP 3??
 * Best Regards, let me know how it goes.

 * Hi, well.. yep.. you’re in trouble, but here’s the thing:
 * WordPress has a very good documentation about creating [WP Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development),
   but you need to know at least basic PHP, HTML, CSS, etc.. and depending on the
   code needed it can be a “no really quick” task.
 * What i suggest to you is to hire a PHP programmer with experience into WP, OR
   browse the internet and find some theme that fits your requeriments.
 * I’m sorry you are in this situation, hope it solves soon.
 * Regards.

 * Stephanie: NO! that line must be after the </head> tag since the “<body>” is 
   where the page beings.
 * You should try this:
 *     ```
       <head ... >
       ... the head content (descriptions, title, meta, css, js, etc) ...
       </head>
   
       <body <?php body_class(); ?> >
       ... the site html/css/php/etc content ..
       </body>
       ```
   
 * The body_class() is a WordPress function that automatically adds the right classes
   to the body tag of your theme.
 * Let me know if this help you to solve your issue.

 * Hi, are you using the links widget to display them in the sidebar? or is it just
   part of the theme? If the links are being displayed as part of the theme you 
   might need to change some parameters in the code to show them ordered by the 
   rating.
 * Let me know if you’re using the widget or not so I can give you a more proper
   help.
 * Best regards =)
