ryanfitzer, making the change you suggested sorted it out. I am now error free. Thanks to you and vkaryl.

Where did you spot the empty div, so that I can try deleting it?

Okay vkaryl, cheers. Can I ask you this? Is having this one problem likely to give me any problems or is it something I can forget about? I’m not even sure what problems validation errors can cause if I’m honest with you.

I tried putting another closing div tag. That didn’t work.

Hi, it is the andreas09 style sheet I am hoping to edit. In my sidebars recent posts lists I would like to add a small gap between each individual post as it is far too cluttered. I was hoping to add something here.

/* Archives/Links Page List styles */

.archives li, .linkspage li {
list-style: none;
}

.archives ul.children {
padding-left: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;

By changing something like

.archives ul.children {
padding-left: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;

I am unsure if I am even in the correct place but I am unable to tell as even doing this

.archives ul.children {
padding-left: 200px;
margin-left: 200px;
padding-bottom: 200px;

changes absolutely nothing.

vkaryl, I haven’t had the chance to post the code up yet, I’ll do it as soon as I get the opportunity. It is the Andreas09 theme I am using.

How do you validate the css file?

Sorry to bump my own thread but I’m stumped. I can see information in the style sheet that seems to be about placing ‘categories’ and ‘archives’ inside blocks but when I try to apply that to my recent posts nothing happens. In fact nothing seems to happen at all when I adjust the style sheet. I’d even settle right now for adding a bit more space around each individual listed post so that it doesn’t look so cluttered.

Yes, but doing that doesn’t place the recent post titles in blocks. I suppose I need a way to apply the same rules to recent posts as are already applied to Categories and Archives.

Found it eventually. Thanks.

Sorry, I can’t find any mention of the author in the single.php file of the author. Would the text have something other than author?

Yes, they were. Thank you. It’s sorted.
