playing with blogspot widgets (gadgets)

As we have talked in the class last week, it is possible to separately edit every widget, give them different backgrounds, alignments, borders, colors, fonts etc. Here is how you do it:

The "widget id" is the only thing you need to edit the widget, but first you need to find it of course. To find the ID of the gadget you wish to modify, please read this previous post here.

Now go into the HTML editor, into the CSS part and find the section entitled "Widgets", then scroll down to the end of the section, just above the part where "Posts" section starts. In other words search for this line:
* /Posts
----------------------------------------------- */
And then all you have to do is; add the code given below straight above this line. The word Label1 in the topmost line, which is highlighted in black, is what you replace with the ID that you have found in the way described in the above linked post.

#Label1{
margin-top:20px
padding-left: 5px;
background:#ddddd;
font-family:arial, sans-serif;
font-size:11px;
text-align:left;
color: #db4c46;
};

The styles I have used are just for example, you can use as many or as few as you wish.
