 * Hello,
 * I would like to add some space between my widgets as they’re all close together.
   I tried to add empty widgets and to modify margins, padding and borders in style.
   css
    Nothing is working! 🙁
 * Could you please help me!?

 * Edit style.css and add `margin-top:20px;` to:
 *     ```
       #colRightInner h2 {
           border-bottom: 1px solid #E2E2D8;
           font-size: 16px;
           padding: 5px 0 8px;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks Esmi for your answer,
    but the thing is I want to add a margin in the 
   bottom of each widget!
 * If I add your line, the first widget will not be at the top of the right column!
 * What could be the code to add a margin only at the bottom?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Unfortunately, the way in which the sidebar widgets have been coded doesn’t make
   this especially easy. You could try adding:
 *     ```
       .textwidget {
       margin-bottom:20px;
       }
       ```
   
 * to the bottom of style.css and see if that helps.

 * Any other idea?

 * Not without editing the theme to add some better markup around the individual
   widgets.

 * Try putting the following code at the bottom of your .css file:
 * /* reduce space between widgets in sidebar */
    .widget{ margin-bottom: 10px; }
