 * Can someone point me in the right direction to modify my .css file? The wide 
   open spacing on the forms is just awful looking. Where are the existing styles
   coming from, so I know what to change? I did add class=something to the form 
   elements; is this what I work with? What have other people done to improve the
   looks?

 * You should add CSS to your theme to style the from rather than modifying the 
   plugin.

 * Yes that’s what I’m doing. But it’s helpful to know what I have to override. 
   Is the current styling just default styling from my theme (Coraline), or is there
   styling that is somehow built into the plugin? Although I’ve been coding for 
   a long time, I’m relatively new at modifying WordPress sites.
