# Recent Posts Loop?

 * I’ve added the “recent posts” widget, but I was hoping to customize the look 
   surrounding it, but I have no idea where that kind of stuff is located.
 * I’m sure it’s possible, and I don’t think every theme I’ve seen uses the same
   style for each widget, but I can’t seem to find out which file contains the code
   I need to edit.

 * I use this widget on my site too. Depending on what you need to do, There are
   two places that you modify code to customize the widget:
 * **1. Your theme’s ‘style.css’ file**
    The following id and classes are applied
   to the `<li>` tag that wraps around the widget.
 *     ```
       #recent-posts
           .widget
           .widget_recent_entries
       ```
   
 * **2. WordPress Core**
    I believe that the core WordPress function that generates
   the html can be found here:
 * `/wp-includes/widgets.php -> line 806`
