Hi all!

I am tweaking my webpage right now, and I'm trying to put padding around the block of text that contains my bullet points. Do you know how I would do this?

I'm using Wordpress/Optimizepress.

Thanks!


Cheers,
Olivia

    1. Use a browser with a web inspector (Firefox = Firebug Plugin, Chrome = right-click "inspect source")
    2. Find the .css that's being called to for that block of text.
    3. Add padding to said .css.
    4. Do a dance

    syntax example:

    .block {
    width: auto;
    height: 100px;
    padding: 0 5px 5px 0;
    }

      The CSS file set the margin and padding for the entire body of text. How do I separate only a certain block and pad it?

        what ever you want to separate you must wrap with a separate class or id

        exmaple <div class="special">content</div> then take that class and style it using css

        .special {css stuff here}

        Plus you don't have to use divs you can use any html tag like <p> or <span> just remember to always close it where the styling should end.

    In normal circumstances that should be a LIST - so you edit the style of that specific list...

    you do not have to seperate it. You can target stuff like
    ul li+li to target the second li in a list.

    If you sent a sample of the code I could tell you how to target whatever it is.

      Thanks for your offer! I finally figured out a way to do it within the OptimizePress UI controls. It can get confusing with all the different CSS files in wordpress/optimizepress
