 * I have got the latest WP running locally. Widgets running and everything fancy.
   BUT when I view CSS in FF web dev it shows something it refers to as *embedded
   styles*. This supplies a whole lot of wierd WP type CSS !important etc for a .
   recentcomment a. Putting aside the fact that in the widget recentcomment is also
   used for an id thus duplicating it – does anyone know WTF is this CSS and where
   has it come from. And more pertinently how can it be <del>deleted</del> edited?
   
   This might be suitable for a mod to move to beyond the codex. 🙂

 * I think it is where you can edit the style of the widget as its displayed. I 
   am trying to add bullets to my Recent Comments lost. i tried to alter that file
   to no avail.

 * The ’embedded’ styles come from plugins/functions that use wp_head to insert 
   styles. When you see raw css (rather then a link/import of an external file) 
   someone is using ‘echo’ or ‘print’ to prepare raw text for insertion into the
   header.
 * A search for something like the following (in suspected scripts/plugins) should
   find it:
 * `add_action('wp_head', 'echoed_css_code');`
 * I know Ozh does it that way in his themetoolkit…
