How do I add space on the top and bottom of widgets in my sidebar?

Yes, your theme’s style.css is found under apperance/editor/…

Your site isn’t up yet, but adding top and bottom padding to your widgets (the outter-most container of your widgets) should do the trick. Find a (or a few) class(es) that are being used by all your widgets and set a css rule on them.

Thank you so much but I am still having trouble. I tried adding to top and bottom padding to anything that looked like a widget. (widget came up 57 times in ‘search’) but nothing changed. Will it have a .px ending and I am also seeing .em? I do not know how to set a css rule.

I have named one of my widgets Recipe Categories and of course there is Tags and neither comes up in css. Should they?

Can you post the HTML markup around a widget? I myself don’t know what the HTML structure surrounding a widget looks like, but if you post the markup, I’ll be able to write a CSS rule for you accordingly.

So sorry – I know nothing. Are these what you might need?

.widget-area .wvr-show-posts .hentry {
margin-bottom:0px;
}

.widget-area {
padding:10px 10px 0px 10px; /* bottom is val – .widget bottom */
}

.widget-area .menu_pop_left ul li,
.widget-area .menu_pop_right ul li {
margin-left: .7em;
margin-bottom: 0em;

}
.widget-area .menu_pop_left ul ul li,
.widget-area .menu_pop_right ul ul li {
margin-left:0;
}
