 * Wondering if you guys can help me out. I’ve having some trouble controlling certain
   WP elements via CSS. **Please visit my site to get an idea of what I’m talking
   about**:

 * Gregor,
    Your “Links” title is not styled the same as the others — < li id=”links”
   >Links <span class=”sidetitle”>Recent Entries</span> If you wrap the Links in
   the same span class as the others, it will style the same as the others.

 * `<div id="menu">`
    - <span class="sidetitle">Links</span>
 *  - <?php get_links_list(); ?>
 *  - <span class="sidetitle">Recent Entries</span>
 *  - Recent Entries PHP Here
 *  - <span class="sidetitle">Browse by Category</span>
 *  - <?php list_cats(0, 'All', 'name'); ?>
 * '
    Drop your link header.... get_links_list automatically returns is. <div id
   =”menu”>
    - <?php get_links_list(); ?>
 *  - <span class=”sidetitle”>Recent Entries</span>
 *  - Recent Entries PHP Here
 *  - <span class=”sidetitle”>Browse by Category</span>
 *  - <?php list_cats(0, ‘All’, ‘name’); ?>

 * get_links_list generates a nested list with ‘links’ at the top by default. I 
   don’t know any way of applying an inline class to that header, so you would be
   better off applying the styles in .spantitle to the ul and, as TG says, getting
   rid of the separate header for links. Also makes for neater code.

 * Putting things on the same line:
    In index.php is this: `<div class="storycontent"
   > <?php the_content(); ?> </div> the section between <div class="post"> and that
   above can go with the feedback div. That will put your info all on one line. 
   If you get a carriage return, it’s probably because you have 2 styling divs, 
   so you’ll have to choose which you want (it’s either h3 or feedback) to be applied.

 * Quote above:
    - Recent Entries PHP Here
    - I have searched all over. I must be blind or it is a state secret. How do 
      you list links to entries on WP???
