recommended posts widget styling is broken

[aschweigert]

see: http://jira.inn.org/browse/IW-19

even though that widget is deprecated, until we actually remove it it should at least have some basic styling (particularly considering it's in the default stack of widgets added to new sites when largo is installed)

If it's in the default stack of widgets added and it's deprecated, should we remove it from the default widgets?

[wjhdev]

A step further: Any reason not to remove this widget entirely and replace any instance with a Recent Posts widget configured to replace it?

[aschweigert]

that would be fine, let's also make sure to nuke the associated prominence taxonomy terms in the process (assuming we nuke this and the footer featured one)

[wjhdev]

I would remove the associate prominence terms by default, but keep them if there are already associated posts with them.

I'd do this out of concern for breaking some users workflow. If they're happy using the sidebar_featured and footer_featured terms to assign things to those spaces we can just drop a recent posts widget in there configured for that taxonomy and those terms.

They're happy because nothing changes. We're happy because we don't have to deal with that widget anymore.

[aschweigert]

makes sense, should definitely not create it though for new installs

[wjhdev]

Doing the simple part first and removing the widget from defaults in #762.

[benlk]

Why in the world is the featured image thumbnail put after the h5 in the code? This makes little sense.

If #800 is merged, this can be closed.
