The whole site looks great, except that I need to use the "Recent Posts" wiidget and it's double spacing the lines on every recent post. How can I change it to single line spacing?

Where would I go on there to make the change, and how?

Please - no "portal" sites, "coder" sites (whatever that means) or "project management" sites. Thanks!

There are several "Recent Posts" plung-ins for WordPress, several of which use the name "Recent Posts", so it's difficult to determine which you are using.

Also, you don't indicate if you have used the widget tool in the Dashboard to place the widget, or if you have hard-coded PHP to place it, which makes it difficult to tell you how to fix the issue.

Finally, without seeing the HTML being produced by the widget, we can't tell you how to style the elements to reduce the spacing.

1. Get the actual name of the plugin. Better yet, post a link to it, either in the WordPress Codex or the developer's site.

2. Repost this as a new question and include a link to your blog so we can see what it's doing.
