Customizing FeedFlare's Appearance on Your Blog

Your FeedFlare can be styled almost infinitely using CSS. Let's take a close look at how FeedFlare's output is structured:

Flare 1 • Flare 2 • Flare 3

There are a few interesting (and important) things to point out about this:

• FeedFlare is wrapped in a 
   tag, so it will inherit the default paragraph styles in use on your blog. However, because it contains a class of feedburnerFlareBlock, you can style it however you want.
• By default, FeedFlare uses bullets (•) as separators. But each one is wrapped in a tag, so you can hide them, restyle them, or make them dance at your leisure.
• To aid your styling, we've applied a class of first to the first link.
