    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to make the distance between the post tile and the post text smaller. Also, the space when I enter a new line within the post is much bigger than I am after. Currently the gap is huge and it looks silly. I have searched and searched online and have tried adjusting just about everything within the page/post CSS but cant seem to find it, does anyone know what i need to adjust to make it smaller? I’m using the picolight theme, below is the CSS I am assuming it will be under…? Also, if you want to take a look the site is https://www.samuellaysullivan.com

    Adjust the padding in post entry and post title h1 (X.)
    You should also look for any single parapraph (P) styles floating somewhere else in your stylesheet, it might have som serious bottom or top padding as well.

    Okay so I have had a play with the above suggestion however all it seems to do is make the post move to the right so it is no longer aligned with the post title.

    Any further ideas anyone? I am considering just changing themes but would like to avoid it if possible!

    rewriting your padding line 443 on style.css to:
    padding: 0px 15px 32px 15px;
    will decrease a little bit the inter space between title and post.

    But your problem is not that. Your problem is h3.

    If you decrease the margin-top: 20px; on your line 526 from style.css, you’ll have it.

    But be aware that you’re making a bad use of the h3 tag (which is reserved to headings).

    Try using <p>instead of <h3> for the content of your paragraphs. The space by default will be smaller and if you’d like then to increase the font size you’d only have to type in your css a new font-size for your p tags.

    Cheers!
