Quick help with CSS change?

Paul Myers · 02-16-2010, 10:23 AM

This seems like it should be an easy fix, but I have no clue about this stuff.

Look at Welcome To My Universe

The line spacing within paragraphs is annoying. I want to have the CSS adjusted so it's normal single spacing. The space between paragraphs is fine. Everything else is fine for what I want to do with the site. It's just something to tinker with for fun, so it doesn't have to be anything fancy..

Might be good to have the text within posts be a point or two larger. Maybe two copies of the modified CSS, one with just the line spacing fix and one with the text size change. Please add comments so I can see where you've changed things.

Here's the link to the style sheet.

Let me know how much to fix that, and how long.

Ooops.

It would probably be good to change it in the comments and pages, too. Although that might all be the same setting.

See how little I know about this stuff?

Hey Paul,

I Inspected the code quickly,

Looks like this is your current style:

Code:

#content p, #content ul, #content ol, #content dl {
margin:0 0 0.7em;


}

You could just add:

Code:

#content p, #content ul, #content ol, #content dl {
margin:0 0 0.7em;
line-height: 18px;



}

edit line height to whatever you want.

Thank you!

That fixed that part. I can tinker with the other stuff later. It's readable now.

What do I owe you?

nadda my friend,

glad I could help

Carlo,

I'm not trying to get free work. If you do this stuff for a fee, PM me your email address. I will be doing some more changes to that site later, and I'd be happy to give you first shot at the work.

Like I say, it's a "playground" site, but I do like things to be a certain way.
