How can I customize the margins of my textwidget?

    Hi there,

    Recently I added a custom header widget area on my website (Minnow child theme). To the area I appointed a textwidget which, in combination with the Content Views plugin, shows my ‘featured’ posts.

    As I am not too happy with the standard margins of the textwidget, I tried to customize these through the google chrome ‘inspect element’ function. I.e.:
    1) right click on the textwidget area
    2) select the right widget class in the inspector (which corresponds to ‘textwidget’)
    3) use the + button in the ‘styles’ pane to enter a few lines of code for the desired margins:

    .textwidget {
    margin-top: 30px;
    margin-bottom: 80px;
    }

    So far, so good… after these steps the page shows the desired margins.
    However, I can’t seem to ‘save’ my changes. When I refresh the page my changes are lost.

    I also tried to enter and save the css-code in my child-theme style.css, but this seems to have no effect at all.

    Any advice on to how to make this work?

    Best!
