    I have the modern blogger theme, I want to move the navigation menu (social media icons) from my header to the sidebar. I tried just moving it in the widget area but it doesn’t look right.   http://www.alittlebitsassy.com/

    You need to edit the selectors of the style rules being applied from using #header ul.menu li a to .sidebar ul.menu li

    So to make sure I understand, I change each one that says that correct?

    Either that or add new selectors to each grouping.

    And I recommend installing the Firebug add on for Firefox or using Chrome’s Firebug Lite which will enable you to right click on any element to inspect it and determine the associated style rules or the selectors required to create new style rules.

    Ok I changed the code to sidebar, and it definitely looks better, but I would like the buttons to be on the same row and within the sidebar. It looks as if it’s split.  Changing codes freaks me out, I’m scared to screw it all up. lol http://www.alittlebitsassy.com/

    Ok I noticed when I moved them to a different order in the widget area in ended up on top of another widget,  not sure what I need to do to fix this.

    Floats can mess up height detection. Add “overflow: hidden;” to the .sidebar .wiget rule.

    And to get rid of the dots add “background: none;” to #sidebar ul.nav li, #sidebar ul.menu li
