Newbie struggling with margins and padding

pitchpassion · 08-04-2009, 01:15 PM

Hi there,

Been using a WPress template to build a nice-looking blog site
www.pitchpassion.com

But I keep getting lost when I try to close gaps and stuff - please bear in mind I'm a total HTML amateur!

Can anyone point me to where I need to look exactly to narrow that little white gap between the picture/post text and the Posted on line?

Thanks in advance

I have to say I like the spacing as it is. It keeps it from looking too bunched up. :)

Margins are the area INSIDE the table that determines how close text/images are too the table's borders. Padding is the space between tables themselves.

Yeah I still want a gap there - but not that big - I only want to move it up the tiniest bit, can you point me to where exactly in the CSS I need to look?

Thanks
