   How can I modify the appearance of a widget?

   For example make changes to the font, text size, line spacing, bullet point type, background etc.

   My blog address is www.diary4life.com

   Hi

   The short answer is you modify the CSS being used to display the contents of that widget.

   Exceptions are, if the widget is pulling in a page from another site using AJAX or iframe, you can't. If the content resides on your site, you can change it.

   If you don't know CSS, you are better off asking specific questions -
   on this section of sidebar, how do I make the font Verdana, the font-size smaller, the line spacing this, etc. That way you can get specific answers and you can extrapolate from there to other parts of your sidebar.

   A key tool for seeing the CSS being applied to your pages is the Firefox Firebug extension. If you want to change your CSS layout it saves a lot of time.
