  Hi again,

  You said yesterday:

  if you mean this http://prntscr.com/6fhjxd , is it a widget? because I cannot control it in your widgets area.

  It is Recent Posts Extended widget, but it does not necessarily need to be. It was the tool I found that would only display ‘news posts’ in this area. I would use anything that could give me a better looking/controllable recent post section for news. Any advice would be appreciated.

  Thanks.

Yeah, that’s more like it. Can I format the font styles, read more, colours etc.?

for your current widget Custom CSS:
h3.rpwe-title {color:#444;}
.rpwe-time, .rpwe-summary {color:#666;}
.rpwe-summary a.more-link {background:blue;}
modify per your needs

Does it use h1, h2 etc.? I would like to tweak those anyway, can you guide me to the CSS tags and names?
Thanks

no it uses the a tag only, use custom css and modify:
.tab-holder .news-list li .post-holder a {
color: #51545c !important;
font-size: 14px !important;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 17px !important;
}

Ok, great, that is the text.
What about the header cell “Recent” at the top of the column, can I change the text size, color and the background of the cell?

You’re good.
What about the title name ‘Recent’, can I change that too?
Do I ask too many questions?
