== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where can I change the image size? =

The image sizes are definied in the Media Settings of Wordpress options. The default are:
<ul>
<li>Thumbnail 150px x 150px max</li>
<li>Medium 300px x 300px max</li>
<li>Large 640px x 640px max</li>
</ul>
You can change the image size directly from Wordpress Media Settings.

= How can I change the styles? = 

You can define the stylesheet in your style.css file (located in <i>wp-content/themes/your-theme/style.css</i>), the widget has its own CSS classes (<i>you can see it with Firebug, Web Inspector, Dragonfly or tools like that</i>).
For example if you want to change the position of thumbnail you can define a class like:

`
.cresta-post-widget img {
	margin: 0 auto;
	display: block;
}
`

Or if you want to change some options of the post title (<i>H3 is the default post title heading tag, but it can be changed from the widget settings</i>):

`
.cresta-post-widget h3 {
	text-transform: uppercase;
	text-decoration: underline;
}
`

= Can I change the date format? =
The date format is taken directly from the Wordpress General Settings. To change it just go to Wordpress Main Menu -> Settings -> General -> Date Format
