 * How do I format Sidebar Widgets?
    In particular there is a lot of white space
   on the top and bottom margins in between widgets and after horizontal rules.
 * I had no luck placing the following code in my child css style sheet and in the
   custom css editor:
 * .widget-area .widget {
    margin-bottom: 3.8rem; <– this number to change to reduce
   the space }

 * Hi [@jasonforbes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasonforbes/),
 * I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
 * You can reduce the white space on the top and bottom margins in between widgets
   by adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS option of the latest version
   of Sparkling theme on the below path.
 * Admin Area -> Apperance -> Customize -> Sparkling Options -> Other -> Custom 
   CSS
 *     ```
       #secondary aside.widget {
         margin-bottom: 3.8rem;
       }
       ```
   
 * Best Regards,
    Movin
