You can easily customize the look and colours of the this footer widget. I have bolded the important parts in the CSS code above. Read the descriptions below carefully to better stylize your Three Column Footer Widget.

• background:#333434; Changing the six digit colour code will change the background colour of this widget.
• width: 960px; This is the width of the widget. If you want you can adjust this width value in accordance with the width of your blog.
• background:#fff; and width: 32%; is the background colour and width of the three columns where the widgets are added.
• color:#0084ce; This is the Colour of Title Headings
• font: bold 14px Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; Edit this to change the font size and family.
• border-bottom:3px solid #0084ce; Edit this to change the thickness, style and colour of the border that appears at the bottom of Title Heading
