While I sit here and look over my various sites including my Photography site, I noticed that the unordered lists were not styled. Raul also mentioned how I should write about styling unordered <ul></ul> or ordered <ol></ol> lists within a WordPress theme, as his was also missing styling. This won't be a terribly in depth post about how to completely restyle your unordered or ordered lists but it will hopefully help you learn the basics you need to know when playing with them, within your WordPress Theme or Template.

It's nice to change things up a little bit but after doing a new blog theme for my site, Robyn pointed out the new layout lacked some items it previously had that she liked. The Categories on the sidebar and the Navigation links on the single page. I remember reading (not that I remember where) that as a web designer what you should do is get your friends and family to play with a layout you create, watch over their shoulders to see what they do.
