  I’d like to get a dotted line under the heading for the Tag Cloud (just below the archive selector) on embraceyoursexuality.wordpress.com/ so that it’s visually consistent with the other sections. Is there a way to do it?

  Also, is there a way to change the line height (or padding) for the Archive widget title?

  This will take care of the tag cloud widget

  #wp_tag_cloud h3 {
  border-bottom: 1px dotted #CCCCCC;
  margin-bottom: 5px;
  }

  Not sure what you are wanting to change on the archives widget since it is a pulldown list.

  Thanks, that visually integrates the tag cloud.

  For the archive widget, I want to change the line height that corresponds with class="widget block widget_archive sidebar-box"><h3> </h3> to squeeze down the line height of the (absent) heading.

  Visually this makes the pulldown a part of the widget above it. Also, not having a title on the archives widget makes people go hunting for what it is which is not really a good thing in my opinion.

  #archives-2 {
  padding-top: 0 !important;
  }

  Thanks, that’s exactly what I was wanting – the archives widget listed beneath the most recent posts. I trust that people will figure it out by its location.

  You are welcome. Personally I go under the “don’t make them think” philosophy because, well…
