 * Dear Satrya,
 * Thanks for putting together this plugin. I love it!
 * I am using it in my front page through a shortcode plugin: [http://www.surbound.com/blog](http://www.surbound.com/blog)
 * As you can see, the text runs into the thumbnail, and I want to give it additional
   margin above and below; as well as edit the text and post title. I can do this
   using Chrome via inspect element. But when I make changes in the CSS box provided
   in the plugin itself nothing happens. in other words, changes I make in the default
   css box under the Shortcode widget are not reflected in my site.
 * I am not an experienced PHP user at all. I may need to add new selectors to the
   existing CSS perhaps?
 * I would greatly appreciate your input on this.
 * Thanks much,
 * Al

 * Someone suggest new idea about the css code in a good way [https://github.com/satrya/recent-posts-widget-extended/pull/13](https://github.com/satrya/recent-posts-widget-extended/pull/13),
   I like the idea, so when user need custom style they can put the css inside the
   theme `style.css`. I will release it soon.
 * If you need a custom style, you should uncheck the default style option then 
   put your custom code inside the custom css box.
