    Hello,
    I want to add a class above and below my widgets so I can add some css images but im not sure how to go about doing it, I believe i need to add it them to the functions.php but am not quite sure how to do this. my site is ablog4you.net.

    I just need a push in the right direction, and if you could help me with the functions override in my childtheme i would also appreciate it, I have been searching for a solution since yesterday.

    the html output i want would look something like this:

    <div class=”container-top”>
    </div>
    <li id=”categories-3″ class=”widget-container widget_categories”>
    <h3 class=”widget-title”>Topics</h3>

    • No categories

    <div class=”container-bottom>
    </div>

    or something like that, thanks for any help you can offer.

    Yeah in my original example, the li was unclosed. That was just a case of superfast cut and pasting. So it’s a good catch and glad you fixed it. Also glad it worked for ya.

    Also, yes, you can rename your functions as you like…as long as you remember to call them properly.

    It doesn’t talk about sidebars, it’s about editing twentyten’s headers. But I explain what’s going on with the whole after_setup_theme thing….which can help you down the road with child theme stuff

    there was a slight problem with the syntax above, if you’re going to do this use li classess instead of div classes, so instead of <div class=”container-top”> you would use <li class=”container-top”>
