Changing Recent Post Icon

Try uploading a 16px x 16px icon image (latest.gif) to your theme’s images folder. Then edit style.css and add.

.latest_post h3.mast {
padding-left:20px;
min-height:16px;
background:url(images/latest.gif) no-repeat left center;
)

where do i add this in the stylesheet?
doess it matter?

this is what my latest post section of the stylesheet looks like

#home_content { margin: 1.5em 0; }

/* latest post */

#latest_post { padding: 0 0 1.5em 0; }
#latest_post_image img { margin: 0 0 0.2em 0; }
.latest_post_meta { font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.6em; }
.latest_post_meta a { font-weight: bold; }
.latest_post_meta a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }
.latest_read_on { padding: 0 20px 1px 20px; background: url(images/bg/readon.png) no-repeat top left; }
.latest_comments { padding: 0 20px 1px 20px; background: url(images/bg/comment.png) no-repeat top left; }
.latest_category { padding: 0 20px 1px 20px; background: url(images/bg/category.png) no-repeat top left; }

where would I insert it.. also, 16×16 isnt big enough, I need it to be 48x48px

thanks

Just add it to the bottom of style.css. Adjusted for a 48 x 48 icon

.latest_post h3.mast {
padding-left:55px;
min-height:48px;
background:url(images/latest.gif) no-repeat left center;
)

I put it at the very end of the stylesheet and still nothing…
it shows the space to the right of the post, but no icon..
I have it in images/ too it’s a .gif, maybe a .jpg

these are the subfolders in images for my theme

bg, featured, latest, thumbs

currently the latest.gif is sitting in the /images along with these folders

Thank you for all your help, so close

My bad. It should be:

#latest_post h3.mast {
padding-left:55px;
min-height:48px;
background:url(images/latest.gif) no-repeat left center;
)

Sorry about that.

hey thank you, it worked but now I have another issue

you see the top banner? well now it is overlapping over the CONTACT link, I think this is because of the stylesheet changes. How would I go about dropping it down so it looks normal again?

thank you esmi
