    First, a correction: subcategories and subpages in Chaotic Soul are indented and bulleted.

    Second, this is the code for a list the way folkcatalogue wants it:
    

    <ul>
    <li>HEADER1
    <ul><li>ITEM1</li>
    <li>ITEM2</li>
    <li>ITEM3</li></ul></li>
    <li>HEADER2
    <ul><li>ITEM4</li>
    <li>ITEM5</li>
    <li>ITEM6</li></ul></li>
    <li>HEADER3
    <ul><li>ITEM7</li>
    <li>ITEM8</li>
    <li>ITEM9</li></ul></li>
    [and so on]
    </ul>

    (PS @Tess, re yesterday's "how are you doing?": please keep in mind that I don't respond if I don't happen to see something like that in time; I don't want to bump a thread with posts not related to the OP's question. Sorry if it seems impolite - I'm sure you know it isn't!)

    hi panaghiotisadam, that looks promising. i'm guessing, though, we're no longer talking about the text widget (the last thing i tried with ellaella and 1tess)... if you've got the time, tell me where i go to do it, please. and is there a way of making the items below the headers active so they link through to the individual posts?

    Yes, in a text widget. That's what the HTML code would look like. It's an unordered list (ul). The ITEMs would be your links (they are li or list items).

    And panos is right, Chaotic Soul can have the categories widget in a hierarchy. I'm just dumb: had 2 category widgets on my test blog and *thought* one was set to show hierarchy with indents and one to show # of posts. My mistake, though the items would still be in alphanumeric order.

    @panos, no offense taken, but so how are you doing? ;-)

    Text widget. Using this code will make the items show up the way all sidebar lists appear in the theme you're using.

    For linking titles, the code model is this:
    <a href="POST_URL_HERE">TITLE_HERE</a>
