 * site:
    [http://simpson.drumsmylife.com](http://simpson.drumsmylife.com)
 * There on the top is a box “recent articles” and I don’t know how to fix it.
    
   the main problem is that I want to show only part of this title not all. On my
   site title is going out from the box.
 * Is it any possibility to make them shorter? and set only 3 articles to show on
   it?
 * Please help me because I’m only beginner in wordpress.

       #header #topbar #topbar-center {
       float:left;
       padding:12px 0 0 30px;
       width:306px;
       }
       #header #topbar ul {
       list-style-type:none;
       margin:0;
       padding:0;
       }
       #header #topbar ul li {
       color:#FFFFFF;
       font:bold 12px "Trebuchet MS",Verdana;
       padding-top:12px;
       }
       ```

       #header #topbar #topbar-center {
       float:left;
       padding:12px 0 0;
       width:306px;

 * Depends how the links are being added. You could start by looking in the theme’s
   footer.php file.

 * Eww! I do dislike themes that encrypt the footer. Some of them use this technique
   to insert spam links into your site. Personally, I’d consider using another theme
   but if that’s not an option, have a look at:

 * A points system is an interesting idea but I’m not sure it would work well here.
   It goes against the the whole “community” ethos. 🙂 But one way of showing appreciation
   to to try and help someone else on the forum, if you can.
