line spaces between things in sidebar

    In my left sidebar I have the archives and calendar — and just enabled the widget for “recent posts”. I’m trying to put line spaces in between the bottom of the archives listings and the headline for the recent posts. How can I do that? I’ve tried doing things in the php file, to no avail; also in the CSS… but nothing seems to change it, and the widget placement doesn’t seem to be editable. Or am I missing something here?

    thanx

    Any help there? I’m not sure what to do here.

    There has got to be a way to put a line space above the headline for the recent pots widget in the sidebar. But I haven’t found it in messing with the CSS or the php file…

    i had the same problem in my sidebar too.
    All the sidebar widgets were kinda jammed up.
    This is what i’ve done to my sidebar :
    I inserted a text widget after every other widgets with title as “█████████████████”.

    I’ve thought about doing that… but it seems to me if you can do a widget or design element, one should be able to put in a line space… how hard can this be?

    Or, could WP make it easier to put space around widgets in sidebars with a little design interface tool?

    Don’t ask me why, but this seems to work. (firefox)

    #sidebar ul, #sidebar ol {
    list-style: none;
    margin: 0 10;
    padding: 0px;
    }

    I added only what is in bold.

    Okay, that solves THAT problem. I had put in a value of 3 there the first time and it made NO discernable difference; looks like bigger values work well.

    So, I wonder how I would go about rearranging so that the widget appears at the top of the sidebar….

    h mmm

    thanks!
