I give up. I don't have enough knowledge to do what I want to do. When I create a module that is not the Custom HTML module, the items have no spacing between them. This affects any module such as Latest News, Weblinks, and all the others. I would like to have some space between items, and not have space at every line wrap so the reader can see separate entries, even if they take up two or three lines. I also want to decrease the size of the font, also, in relation to the content area. Just those two minor changes are driving me nuts because I can't figure out where in the CSS code to make the changes. I hate to keep bugging you for this simplest information, but maybe it will also help others out there, besides me, to become more self-sufficient and learn how to make these modifications without wasting your time. I did search the forum and haven't come across any similar request.

Thank you!

Perfect! That worked beautifully. There will be consistency across the site now and I think it's easier for my readers to distinguish between the items. Thank you! I see that it affects all the modules, just what I wanted.

Hi Dawn

Hopefully this should do it for you.. try adding the following to the Custom CSS field...


[code type=css].module ul a, .module_menu ul a {
color: #3B661A;
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 150%;
padding: 5px 0;
text-transform: none;
}
.module ul a:hover, .module_menu ul a:hover {
color: #3B661A !important;
text-decoration: underline;
}[/code]

Oh, thank you. I know I am asking some very basic types of questions. I'm a pretty quick learner, though!

This one, http://sdchildcare.org/child-care/working-with-children/child-development/child-development-weblinks.html, is the weblinks module in sidecolB named "Child Development Links." I just put up the Custom HTML module above that, "The Importance of Play" to show the look I am going for because that all obeys h4. I would like all the preset modules to obey the parameters I set for heading 4, as you helped me with the coding for that. I just modified the color and type size, and line spacing for h4. The elements are separated already from the template settings for h4, and I took off the bolding. If I could have all the "preset" modules such as weblinks, latest news, who's online, etc. respond to the h4 setting, even if I change it later, that would solve all the problems.

To get a bit more detailed, if that is necessary:
I would like the item to have an underline when hovering - basically like all the other hyperlinks in the template work, and change the font color to gray, I think it is.
Several of these items have names that take up two lines because of the width of the module. I would like each entry to have some separation, such as the setting for h5 gives, but not bolded. Not a lot, but enough to distinguish between separate items. I would like the font to be a bit smaller than my article font size. I want a bit of line spacing, for breathing room, and the font color to match my header fonts.

The other one is "Latest News" module which I renamed "Newly Updated" and have selected it to show the most recently modified pages. Same issues as in Weblinks module. In fact, probably all the automatic modules behave similarly and anytime I want to use one, I'll want a consistent look. The url for that is http://sdchildcare.org/
