  I have a table in my post, but it’s too high. There’s no space between the title of the post and the table. I want to move the table down a bit. What code would I use? This is the code for the table:

  <tbody>
  <tr>
  <td style=”padding-left:30px;”><span style=”font-family:Georgia;font-size:small;”>

  Thanks

  This should work above your table:
  <span style="visibility:hidden;line-height:1em;">http://walkinginthemountains.com/</span>
  adjust line-height to your liking

  Or if you don’t like hidden text:

  <div style="padding-top:10em;">
  YOUR_TABLE_HERE
  </div>

  (I seem to remember someone saying that search engines don’t like hidden text, but don’t remember what context that was in. And I can’t find it anyway.)

  But if you’re talking about the grey box in your next-to-last post, you don’t need a table. See here:

  Background color to text

  You can add the commands for width and centering within the div style quotes, plus this for space above the box (adjust by changing the number):

  margin-top:30px;
