change side bar text?

hey, I've been playing with punbb a little and need some help (please).  I used the help that Connorhd had for adding the side bar menu (posted here:  http://nupusi.net/punbb:tutorials:miniportal ).

now I'd like to change the text to have a little more margin to space out the text and to take out the underline.  i've searched the css but can't find it.  plus i tried adding my own class to the css to change it, but can only seem to get the underline to disappear from all links?

please help.  (my forum, in case:  http://www.ditschfitness.com/forums/index.php )
