More Sidebar Edits
Got the boxes that I wanted for the section headers in the sidebar by added some additional properties to “#sidebar h2″ in the “style.css”
Next was to add in code to pull a portion of the recent comments into the sidebar and display them. Pulled in the code from the “column-a.php” file in the Journalized Theme and modified it to work in “sidebar.php”. This does require the use of Scott Reilly’s Customizable Comment Listing plugin, and the code in the “sidebar.php” checks to make sure that function is available.
Also tweaked the coloring to make the blue darker for the “a, h2 a:hover, h3 a:hover” properties.
Now for the scary part, messing with the actual posting entries to get them formatted the way I like, with the date first in a box by itself followed by all the postings for that particular date.

Well, this is a comment to see what it looks like on the screen, it needs to run on for at least a couple of lines so I can tell what it looks like. Not sure exactly how many but I think four or five should give a reasonable amount. I think I’ll just duplicate the whole thing.
