    Hi,

    I am wanting to change the sidebar area so that each new widget has either a boarder or different background color so that it is easy to distinguish the different areas.

    Is it better to change the style.css or just alter the style within the widget area?

    Thanks in advance for any insight.

    Hi,
    It's truly a matter of taste. As a hardcore CSS guy, I like editing the stylesheet. This would also make it easy to apply some style code to more than one box. But you may not need to do that.

    There's a tiny advantage to doing a style right in the widget, inline. If you casually update your theme at some point without making note of changes, you may lose your custom styles, but styles right in a widget would remain.

    Cheers, Dave
