    I want to make my sidebar more effective and user friendly. By effective, I mean I want my members to be able to find what they are looking for easy and fast.

    Any tips or tricks are welcome.

    Make it simple as possible so easy for your visitor to find out things in it.

    Just include a search widget, recent posts widget, categories widget, tag cloud and if you have members also use the plugin sidebar login (search for it in the wp plugins directory).. that would be enough for your users to search everything easily.

    Also, you can add recent comments widget and "subscribe to updates" menu (perhaps using a text widget)
