  Hi. I have written my book in a WordPress site, mrbashful.com and have over sixty chapters and sub-chapters in the side bar, all bunched together. It looks cluttered. (All are in the one category widget, titled ‘Chapters’.
  Please, how can I place ten category widgets in the sidebar, and title them Part 1, Part 2, etc. and put particular posts in each one. (Currently, if I put another category widget in the sidebar, both category widgets list all the posts.)
  Thank you,
  Mark Avery.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Mark,

  I recommend setting up a custom menu for each section you want displayed in a separate widget. You can create custom menus and add items to each menu by following this guide: Custom Menus

  Once you have all of your custom menus set up, you can add them to the sidebar using a custom menu widget for each one: Custom Menu Widget

  If you have any questions about this, please let me know!

  You little beauty, Rachel! (That’s Australian for ‘I’m impressed with what you have done and I love you to bits!’) You explained it well and I can do it, now. Thank you, and thank you for your promptness.
  Mark.
