   I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this. I have a sidebar on this page: http://flightlineaviationmedia.com/?page_id=9 And I've populated the sidebar with text, link, text, and link widgets. Is there a way to display the link Category Description field in the Infocus theme? Then I could put what's in that text widget into the link widget. "The Map" belongs with the "Where to Go"....but I had to make it a separate widget. And there's too much space between them. Can I leave out the "Link" widget title? Or make the link widget title font smaller? I tried looking in the skin editor sections but I don't see anything for widget title fonts.

   Further down, the text under "helpful resources" is actually describing the links in the next widget called "Registration Links". I wish I could combine them together somehow.

   Or instead of using the sidebar/widgets should I just have done a 2-column layout and use plain text and make a list for the links? This seemed like an easier way though.

   Hello,

   In this case, I think you should use only text widgets, and inside them create HTML lists with your links. For example, this could be the content of one of those widgets:

   <p>Widget Description:</p>
   <ul>
   <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
   </ul>

   Thanks. That does help clean up the design a little. I used the Fancy List code inside the text widget. How can I make the link font bigger or darker? Where would that be in the css? I don't see it.

   Hello,

   You can add this code to the "Custom CSS" field in the theme options panel:

   .textwidget .fancy_list a {
     color: #000;
     font-size: 12px;
   }

   Customize those values so they suit your needs, and let us know the results.
