Sidebar scroll box tutorial

I stand by my statement (that really, I probably use too much) that you can learn anything from Google (feel free to insert Bing, Yahoo, or any other search engine here). Aside from learning how to rip and reformat a training video at work so we could replay it on windows media player and burn it onto multiple dvds for upcoming interviews, I have also learned this week how to make a scroll box for my sidebar.  It's pictured above, but it's also, obviously, on my right sidebar.  Love it.  So I thought I'd pass the info on.  First, you need to know your widget ID, so you can tweak your widget into a scroll box.  I learned how to find that ID from bloggersentral here.  Then I followed bloggersentral's instructions for a scroll box here. They were super easy, and in case you didn't know (I'm sure you did, but just in case) to find the code that he says to find, you can just hit "ctrl+F" and it gives you a search box to put the code in at the top of your screen.  It's a lot easier than trying to find the scrap of code by yourself.  Also, don't include the numbers he has on his lines, I just copied and pasted the lines one at a time so I wouldn't pick up those line numbers.
Sadly, this didn't help me with putting my blog list in a scroll box.  The scroll box showed up, but the blog list stayed as it was underneath it.  I guess that will be my next thing to figure out.
