  I am trying to add a custom mail button and facebook button to my side bar-which i did (side by side) using the text widget. But I do not know how to link them to my page.

  Also, I would like to add a background color to my sidebar, but the code I am using will not work:
  #sidebar {
  background-color: #aeaeae;
  }
  If the background color doesnt work, I would at least like to define the lines between the sections.

  Can you help?

  Instead of a Text widget, try an Image widget. It’s a bit easier and allows you to link the image.

  Your sidebar actually shares the background with the main area.

  Try this instead:

  #second.widget-area {
  background-color: #aeaeae;
  }
