How do I add line spaces in the recent posts widget?

Lance000 · #1 Oct 12, 2009, 12:49 PM

HI,

Please look at my site at www.lancesview.com. I'm using the Atahualpa theme.
On the right sidebar I have a standard text widget for Recent Posts that I took from Wordpress default widgets.
How do I space out the links to the recent posts in the widget so that there is a clear separation between all of them. Right now they seem to run together.

Thanks

Lance

well if you used a text widget and built it yourself, you could ad a <br> between or use CSS and increase the line height

Hi,

I don't understand. I did not build it myself - how does your suggestion help me?

Or maybe I should be asking how I can build it myself? I'm a beginner at this and don't know how to write code.

well, did you use the TEXT widget or something else

You WILL need to learn some CSS in order to tweek the settings and it would be helpful if you knew some HTML. That way, you can look at the SOURCE of the generated page to see how to tweek the CSS

Have you gone thru the Getting Started with WordPress? It's the place you should start

Yes - I read some of it and I know a little. But I need someone to give me step by step directions.

Is there anybody out there who can give me step by step directions. Someone else tried to give me some help on the wordpress site but his suggestions didn't work - probably because of the theme I'm using.

Thanks
