 * Long story, short: I can’t use the standard Pages widget bc after I got it styled,
   the pages wouldn’t exclude.
 * So, I am using the plug in: Flexi Pages Widget… which does exclude, but I am 
   having trouble styling it.

 * If you scroll 1/2 way down, you can see the list of links. I want to style the
   main pages (ie “ARTIST”) like the main heads above… but I can’t figure out the
   CSS line to write for it.
 * I tried things like:
    #sidebar .block li .page_item page-item-8 and styling the“
   title” vs “children… etc. and other variations that I could think of and nothing
   is taking.
 * Anyone know?
    Thanks!!

 * your css selectors are quite wrong;
    instead: `#sidebar .block li .page_item 
   page-item-8` spaces at the wrong position; dot missing; not aimed at the link;
   should have been: `#sidebar .block li.page_item.page-item-8 a { ... }`
 * or, alternatively, try:
 *     ```
       #sidebar .flexipages_widget .page-item-8 a,
       #sidebar .flexipages_widget .page-item-201 a {
       font-weight: bold;
       font-size:18px;
       border-bottom: 1px dotted #ccc;
       margin-bottom: 8px; }
       #sidebar .flexipages_widget .page-item-201 a {
       margin-top: 20px; }
       ```
   
 * > and nothing is taking.
 * there are also a few stray characters at the end of your style.css
