How do you add a spabe between lines in recent post text widget

in your stylesheet add the following:-

#right #recent-posts-3 ul li { margin-bottom:10px; }

you can play around with the amount to suit.

Thanks Dave,
Where in the stylesheet do I add it?
What does the “3 ul li” mean?

thanks

Lance

you can add it to anywhere in the stylesheet but at the bottom is probably best.

the #’s refer to containing divs of the unordered lists. the ul li refers to the unordered list (aka bullet points) which the recent posts us. so this code targets the recent posts list to add the margin to.

Thanks a lot Dave

Hi again Dave,

Just wondering. Is there a way to alternate the text or background color of each post in the “recent post” widget on the right sidebar to distinguish the posts even further?

thanks

Lance

I tried adding the code you gave me to the style sheet and it didn’t do anything.
I’m using the Atahualpa theme that has a lot of options and areas to fill in styling code for the various areas of the blog.
For example there are options to fill in code in:
“Body style, Text & Links”
“Style and Configure Sidebars” -> “Right Sidebar style”
“Style Widgets” -> “Widget content Box”

I tried a few of them and when that didn’t work I just went to “editor” for the style.css file. still didn’t work.
Any other suggestions?

or should the code go into the “css.php” file?

Thanks
