 * My theme is Twenty Twelve.
    I have Jetpack installed. I want to remove the underlines
   on my sidebar.
 * I went to Appearance Edit CSS; and cut/pasted the code below in JetPack CSS editor
   window . . . however the underlines did not go away.
 * #sidebar a { text-decoration:none; /* disable underline of links on sidebar only*/}
   #
   sidebar a:hover { text-decoration:underline; /* underline links when mouse hovers
   over */}
 * Am I missing a step. I am new to WordPress,JetPack & CSS. Thanks much
 * The blog I need help with is [http://www.katha-soma.com](http://www.katha-soma.com).

 * Where did you get that code? CSS is theme and site specific so you can’t necessarily
   copy code from someplace else. In this case, there is no id=sidebar on that page.
   Try this:
 *     ```
       .widget-area .widget a {
           text-decoration: none;
       }
       ```

    Wow! this worked, underlines are gone.
 * Do you have a code for the sidebar that will reduce the space/padding between
   the pictures and the categories,recent posts,search.

 * Try this:
 *     ```
       .widget-area .widget {
           margin-bottom: 2.42857rem;
       }
       ```
   
 * change the margin setting according to your preference.
 * The best way to find these CSS selectors is using [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com)–
   an addon for Firefox that shows you the CSS that’s affecting an element on the
   page.

 * Hey again
    I tried this:
 * .widget-area .widget {
    margin-bottom: 1.2rem; }
 * I looks to me on IE explorer browser the space did not reduce.
    However on Chrome
   the space did reduced. Is this possible? or perhaps my are my eyes not seeing
   the page clearly.
 * Also when using JetPack CSS editor, do you still recommend a child page. Thanks
   for your patience.

 * I think you haven’t cleared the browser, Internet Explorer’s cache.
    The REM 
   style worked for me (bottom-right) [http://snag.gy/MOJvh.jpg](http://snag.gy/MOJvh.jpg)
 * If you’re still experiencing issues, please state which version of Internet Explorer
   you’re using.
