 * Hi, I have my website [http://tinytransitions.com/](http://tinytransitions.com/)
 * Im trying to reduce the padding on the side widgets. I have placed the following
   into the custom CSS area but it doesn’t appear to be doing anything.
 * .widget-area .widget {margin-bottom: 1rem;}
 * Is that wrong?
 * Thanks,
    Courtney

 * Courtney,
 * You might want to check out around line 974 of your style.css file there is quite
   a bit of bottom margin between items where the line margin:0 0px 35px 0px; you
   might want to reduce that 35px value lower or all the way to zero as each widget
   still has some padding as well. Hope that helps.
 *     ```
       .widget-content {
       position:relative;
       margin:0 0px 35px 0px;
       padding:10px 15px 21px 15px;
       font-size:13px;
       background: #F6F6F6;
       border: 1px solid #E0DDDD;
       box-shadow: 1px 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9) inset;
       -box-shadow: 1px 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9) inset;
       -moz-box-shadow: 1px 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9) inset;
       -webkit-box-shadow: 1px 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9) inset;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks, this is a rookie question but when i add this code to the custom CSS 
   and modify the Margin from 35 to 5, it doesn’t appear to have changed. I dont
   want to do it in the master because when i update the theme it will wipe that
   out correct?
 * What the heck am i missing… hmm. Thanks!!
