  Hi. My blog/website is http://zkwriter.wordpress.com. The sidebar works but looks awful. Any tips for making the words a bit larger and bold? I’m not proficient in HTML I’m afraid….

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

  Try adding the Pages widget instead of the text widget you’ve got now.

  But if you want a text widget for something else, this is a basic code to make your text larger and bold:
  <strong><span style="font-size:1.2em;">YOUR_TEXT_HERE</a></span></strong>
  You can change 1.2em to a different number.
  Remove the “strongs” if you don’t want bold.

  It tells me there are “no options for this widget.”

  No, you don’t need them. It will automatically make links to your pages.

  If you still don’t like the look, you’ll have to go back to the text widget.
  But except for changing the size, you can do it in a draft in the Visual editor, then copy the HTML to the text widget.
