  For my “follow me widget” (on my sidebar), am I limited to how it appears because of my theme (twenty eleven)?

  I see some type of underlining and borders on this link, and wondering if it’s due to a paid theme? I know I can change the wording but wondering about boxes, underlining, etc.

  Same issue – how do I modify the formatting of the widget. Is it tied to MY theme? How can I change the width of the widget?

  You may modify formatting such as width using CSS with the Custom Design upgrade. To try it out, you can add CSS to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page and click the Preview button. If you need help with CSS, you can post specific questions in the CSS forum—be sure to include a link to the blog you’re working on.

  Hi designsimply – thank you for the info and reply. Unfortunately, I don’t have the CSS Custom Design upgrade.
