  I have a vanilla blog account, and have implemented the sidebar feature “recent postings”, and am wondering if there is any way to insert more space between each post listed. It is difficult to read.

  There is, as far as I know, no way except possibly the paid CSS upgrade, to change the spacing of widgets. And you have to already know what you’re doing with CSS. Switching to a different theme will change the font and spacing in your widgets, though, so you might want to try that. There are several that are similar to Kubrick.

  thanks for your thoughts.. I agree. and tho annoying, its just worth the cost of CSS upgrade.

  PS (probably one of those CSS margin statements)

  {margin: 10px}

  Value
  margin-top
  margin-right
  margin-bottom
  margin-left
  Description
  Sets the properties for the margins. The values comes in % (defines a margin in % of the total height/width of the document), length (defines a fixed margin), and auto (the browser sets a margin).

  You can test that using the free Preview.

  Also, you can of course us a text widget and code it yourself, but then you have to update it every time you make a post, which is a PIA.
