 * For what it’s worth, a stab at simpler grid calendar widget styling.
 * You can see it (at least for a week or two) here:

 * Woops, it took almost the entire post as the link text. But you can click on 
   the css and it will get you to the test page.

 * Hi cpelvis74,
 * I think someone mentioned that the latest theme upgrade was clobbering some child
   themes but I don’t run a child theme. I run half a child theme in the sense that
   I use JetPacks “Custom CSS” plugin which does seem to load its css stylesheet
   after any theme stylesheet. I don’t don’t anything with my functions.php file.
 * So you could try enabling that part of JetPack’s plugin, then go to the “Edit
   CSS” sidebar menu option, and cut & paste the above code. Good luck, and let 
   me know how things work out.
