 * How can I custom format the recent post list in the sidebar?
    What tags should
   I work with in the css. I am currently using greentrees as a theme and wish to
   provide some distinction to the curent post lists as they run together. (perhaps
   a dash before each name, or a space between each name) Thanks

 * You can either assign it its own CSS or [stylize the nested lists](http://codex.wordpress.org/Styling_lists_with_CSS)
   to make them look however you want.
 * If you want the recent posts to have their own look different from the others:
 * ` <li id="recent"><?php _e('Recent Articles'); ?>
    <ul><?php c2c_get_recent_posts(
   10); ?></ul></li>
 * And then add this to your style sheet:
 * `#recent {color: blue; font-style: italic...whatever look you want...}`
 * Does that help?
