HOWEVER: I have not had success implementing your very cool fix to the Recent Posts and Featured Categories showing the same thing. Are you sure the syntax you list in the fix is EXACTLY the way it needs to be entered into the file?

I try to look into your problem but unfortunately I have been extremely busy with another project recently so I cannot promise that it will be immediately. Meanwhile, have you already asked for a solution at the Mimbo forums? They might be your best bet to get a quick answer as someone else might have faced the problem before. Thanks for visiting!

You're really a big help to newbies like me. I will wait for your post and see if I can follow what has to be done to modify Mimbo 3.0 footer. <abbr><em>EdZee’s last blog post..<a href="http://xicowner.jefmart.com/index.php/2009/06/11/selling-a-cafe-business/" rel="nofollow">Selling A Café Business</a></abbr></em> Thanks, Kunal.

My work on a new project has been keeping me really busy. Thanks for checking back so often. Yes, I was able to add the footers to Mimbo, it was quite easy in the end. Although, I probably will not have the time to write a full tutorial, what I will do is publish a post tomorrow with the code to create the footers and which files to add them in. That should atleast get you started, then you will have to change the css to match your own theme. @EdZee, I really apologize for neglecting this blog the past month.

I changed the background of the nav bar and the color of my blog name. I changed the color of the drop down menus on the nav bar. They still have a grey border on the top and bottom though. I haven't figured out how to change that yet.
