    I have this code which is styling a Nav Menu which I have in my sidebar with a blue banner and grey background.

    It looks like this - Styling on Most Popular Pages Nav Menu

    https://www.rogerperkin.co.uk/network-automation/python/python-vs-ansible-for-network-automation/

    I also want to apply this styling to the Genesis Featured Post Widget which I have here

    Ansible Vault

    However I can't see a way to target this - It is using section-id feature-post-8

    This is the CSS styling for the Sidebar Nav Menu

    /* Custom Styling for Most Popular Pages
    --------------------------------------------------------*/

    #text-66 .widget-title {
    background-color: #787878;
    color: #fff;
    font-size: 18px;
    font-size: 1.8rem;
    font-weight: 400;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 15px 35px;
    text-transform: none;
    }

    .sidebar #text-66 li,
    .sidebar #text-66 li a {
    color: #5c5c5c;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-size: 1.6rem;
    font-weight: 400;
    text-transform: none;
    }

    .sidebar #text-66 li a {
    background-color: #f7f6f4;
    display: block;
    padding: 20px 30px;
    text-decoration: none;
    width: 100%;
    }

    .sidebar #text-66 li a:hover,
    .sidebar #text-66 li a:focus {
    background-color: #eceae5;
    }

    Or it could be this block ??
    /* Popular Pages
    --------------------------------------------- */

    .sidebar .widget_recent_entries li, .sidebar .widget_nav_menu ul li {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    }

    .sidebar .widget_recent_entries .widget-title, .sidebar .widget_nav_menu .widget-title{
    background-color: #1676b7;
    color: #fff;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-size: 2rem;
    font-weight: 700;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 15px 29px;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    }

    .sidebar .widget_recent_entries li,
    .sidebar .widget_recent_entries li a,
    .sidebar .widget_nav_menu ul li,
    .sidebar .widget_nav_menu ul li a {
    color: #5c5c5c;
    font-size: 18px;
    font-size: 1.8rem;
    font-weight: 400;
    text-transform: none;
    }

    .sidebar .widget_recent_entries li a,
    .sidebar .widget_nav_menu ul li a {
    background-color: #f7f6f4;
    display: block;
    padding: 20px 20px;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    .sidebar .widget_recent_entries li a:hover,
    .sidebar .widget_recent_entries li a:focus,
    .sidebar .widget_nav_menu ul li a:hover,
    .sidebar .widget_nav_menu ul li a:focus {
    background-color: #eceae5;
    }
