# Customise widget

 * Hello,
 * I’m currently modifying a clients site that was already setup with a theme. On
   the home page there is a widget that pulls the title and excerpt from a few posts
   and puts them in a slider (I have shown some of that code below). I just wanted
   to find out if it’s possible to have the first word of the title styled in a 
   different way to the rest of the title.
 * Cheers 🙂
 *     ```
       /* Slider */
       function my_post_type_slider1() {
       	register_post_type( 'extra-slider',
                       array(
       				'label' => __('Extra Slider'),
       				'public' => true,
       				'show_ui' => true,
       				'show_in_nav_menus' => false,
       				'menu_position' => 5,
       				'supports' => array(
       						'title',
       						'custom-fields',
       						'excerpt',
       						'editor'
       						)
       					)
       				);
       }
       ```

 * It may be possible, but the code you posted is not where it happens. You somehow
   need to filter the title content as it’s loaded into the slider and add span 
   tags around the first word.
