Can the mod_k2_content be customized????????? was created by Jay Jones

Hey all. I would like the k2_content to display the most resend tutorials, blogs, and articles but I dont like how they are showing. I would lke them to have a radio button infront of the words and have the letters smaller. Can this be done? I attached 2 images of what I have and what I want.

All you need to do is styling as far as I can see and practically no customization of the module. The radio button you are referring to can be background image either on the li element or the a.moduleItemTitle element and on hover to change its state to the purple bullet.

+1 to Yiota.

Get firebug to help you identify the element you wish to change, so that it will tell you its css name, file and line number to help you track it down.

OK. I just downloaded Firebug. What I can tell is that I find the code and then go to the css and change what I want. Is this right? I am a fast learner so even thou I don't know now, I will soon. lol

You are 100% correct.
It will show you which css file, most likely k2.css the path and the line number.

Remember to make a copy of the default k2 template, found in components/com_k2/templates/default.
Or
You can create your own K2 micro template.
I have written a "templating" guide found at simon.getk2.org search for templating.

Hope that helps.

OK. I am having a little problem. When I go to change line 38 (a:hover {text-decoration: underline;}) in the template.css under core formatting, it is changing my links, article titles, Hello me, where ever there is a link. How can I separate the K2_content from the others???????????????
