  Hi @morgansfishshop
  There are two ways by which you can do this:

  THE WAY THAT WILL TAKE LONG TIME:(but it’s free)
  You can reduce the spacing by using inline CSS while editing the page/post. Just switch to the HTML tab on the page editor and then reduce the paragraph spacing manually for each paragraphs using inline CSS like this:
  <p style="margin-bottom: 10px">Customers can delight in sampling the very freshest of seafood and can get valued culinary advice from&nbsp;our experienced shop staff who have a depth of seafood knowledge.</p>

  THE EASY WAY THAT WILL TAKE LESS TIME:(but it’s not free)
  You can use the CSS Edtior to reduce the spacing between paragraphs by adding this custom CSS code:

  p {
      margin: 0 0 0.8em 0;
  }

  NOTE: Editing CSS is a part of the Premium and Business WordPress.com plans. Read more about these plans here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  If you are already on any one of the plans mentioned above, then ignore the note.

  Hope this helps :)

  morgansfishshop – otpidusprime gave you an excellent answer – thanks, otpidusprime!

  I’d definitely recommend the second method as much more efficient. It also prevents having to manually go in and modify every paragraph if you decide to change the amount of space between them at any point, or if you switch themes. But it looks like you’ve already added the code. :)

  One other thing to note is that if you decide to upgrade to either Premium or Business, you’ll get a custom domain name included (like morgansfishshop.com, for example) which most businesses find useful for advertising and promotion purposes.

  If we can help with anything else, just let us know!
