  I did, yes. I have the widget up, it simply isn’t displaying correctly on my site.

  Hey there!

  Sorry about that. The problem stems from the links set as white placed against a white background. I went ahead and changed the link color to black by adding the following CSS code inside the Custom CSS panel:

  #secondary .widget a {
   color: #000;
  }

  I was able to do this with the Custom Design upgrade which I gave to you, on the house. :)

  Let me know if that looks good. Thanks!

  My goodness, thank you! It looks great now, and it’s wonderful that I get the free custom upgrade too ^_^. Seriously, possibly the most helpful customer service I’ve had in years.
