blogging questions
Here are some things I haven't figured out and that are driving me crazy trying different solutions.
1. How to make a selected link border not show. Seems like this is the equivalent of active in the old blogger so I tried adding code to the html but with no effect.

2. How to have less space between categories in the sidebar list. They seem to be in table rows (if you highlight them, you see faint lines between each item) but expanding widgets doesn't display coding for them and no site I've lurked on has mentioned this, even though theirs display nice and tidily.

3. How to search in text in widgets. Sure, I can copy text into Word or Notepad and then search there, but it seems counterproductive and time consuming.

4.(a) How to display and modify a feed element's code to make it look as I want. (b) How to display more than 5 titles or other items in a feed widget. When I add the code recommended by others (?max-results=[n]), the url is invalid. Only posts or comments work so far (note the optimistic "so far"!).

5. How to paste code from other blogs' suggestions into a widget with line breaks instead of as a run-on huge paragraph. I changed the formatting setting to not convert line breaks, thinking it would temporarily work, but I was wrong.
That's all for now. I think.
