Increasing spacing between blogroll entries

    If you take a look at my blog (https://heiseheise.com), you can see that the entries under the “links/blogroll” section are oddly smashed together so that the little picture that came with this particular theme does not look quite right.

    For some reason as you can also tell, none of the other sections on the page have that problem.

    My question: where in the default widget code can I find the place to add more spacing? I’ve already looked all over it several times but because the defaults don’t list what they are, I can’t find where I would overwrite that default.

    Any advice at all would be appreciated. This probably started all the way back from what I upgraded to 2.6. When I switched to this theme from the default wordpress theme, it worked fine until 2.6.

    Thanks!

  • Open your theme’s style.css and add this as a new line…

    .linkcat h2 {margin:0!important;}

    Of course you can set the margin to more if you like, but that will remove the spacing issue you’re talking about…

    EDIT** that will teach me to skim the post…

    Try this…

    .blogroll li a {padding:3px 0 3px 18px!important}

    You sir, are a genius ?? That worked perfectly, and looks great now too. The part I didn’t know was that I could edit .css styles for widgets (like the blogroll) inside the main css template, but now you’ve shown me.

    Thanks again!

    Most functions attach classes or ids to the elements they create.

    It’s just a matter of finding out what they are…

    I use Web Developer for firefox which allows me to check element information within seconds… So i loaded up your site, hit the Web Developer hotkey for element info.

    Then wrote the relevant CSS (easy).

    Bit it easier then view source… ??

    Glad i could help.. ??
