  Greetings,

  I am a very basic blogger, so please forgive me if this is a dumb question. I noticed on the theme I am using (Ambiru) there is a “widget” to add a “Top Posts” section. It says that it uses the posts with the most views from the last 24-48 hours.

  Instead I would like to be able to list the top ten posts, but *over all time*. Because what I write about is not usually date dependent, my content is often just as useful a year or two later. Is this possible?

  Also, I love love love the look of the theme I am using, but it is one column. Is there any way to convert it to a two column, while keeping the overall look?

  Thanks so much for any insights!

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

  It’s possible, but it wouldn’t be dynamic. Just make a Text Widget and put in it links to whatever posts you like. I’ve done this myself at my blog.

  And no, there’s no way to convert a one column theme to two columns as far as I know.
