 * I have tried and tried but can’t seem to solve this. On the following page I 
   want to make a bigger gap between the widget title and the actual links. So some
   sort of padding:bottom???
 * I also want to make the menu links ( on the right) normal instead of bold and
   blue instead of orange.
    Can anyone advise me?

 * For whatever reason, you have an asterisk I do not believe should be there messing
   things up:
 *     ```
       .cat-post-widget * {
           font-size: 12px;
           line-height: 18px;
       }
       ```

 * Something like this might work:
 *     ```
       .cat-post-widget {
           font-size: 12px;
           line-height: 18px;
           text-decoration:none;
           color:#00F;
       }
       ```

 * The best way to make changes like this to a theme is to use a child theme, so
   your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides
   in case you haven’t made one before:

 * Then to edit this editor is fantastic. You can edit multiple files at the same
   time.

 * I saw that asterisk after right-clicking for “Inspect Element” in Firefox and
   then finding that widget.

 * its most peculiar, I can see it by right clicking, as you say. But I simply can’t
   find it in the css stylesheet editor in wordpress, so where is it I wonder???

 * Why do you need to know where it is in the stylesheet?

 * I do not know, but I just found this to at least possibly help explain its presence:

 * I would guess something somewhere else is generating that code as visible via“
   Inspect Element”.
