    Hi everyone. Using Fabric8ted child theme, I would like to minimize the padding that lies above the widget title area so that I can squeeze more content vertically in my sidebar. Could someone direct me to the code for this? The site is http://www.bucknrunranch.com and I would specifically like to reduce the space between the social icons and the recent posts widget in the sidebar.

    Thanks
    Mary

    this is the code in the Fabric8ted style.css

    .sidebar .widget {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 30px 15px;

    I changed to

    .sidebar .widget {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 10px 5px;

    emptied all caches and had no change in this area. ;-(

    The sidebar widget is showing this right now:
    media="all"
    .sidebar .widget {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 30px 20px;

    Did you save and upload the css file?
