# Recent Posts – Sidebar, Increasing Space between Items

 * Hi on a website I do as a volunteer for a Dog rescue charity, I am trying to 
   increase the space between the Recent Posts entries in the sidebar please.
 * At the moment there is not space between them – and I’m wondering if it might
   be easier to read if they had a little bullet before each one.
    I’m trying to
   learn CSS but can’t see how to do it. Thank you for any help Jonathan

   Recent Posts’ sidebar widget

 * You can add the following CSS code under `Appearance > Additional CSS`:
 *     ```
       .wp-block-latest-posts.wp-block-latest-posts__list li {
            padding-bottom: #px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Replace # with your preferred number.
 * This will be the output using `20px`:

 * Great thanks so much – works perfectly.
 * Do you know if there is a way to remove or change that little icon that sits 
   in front of each entry in the latest posts list please?
 * Many thanks
