Hello,
I am using the Oxygen Theme. How do I modify the spacing between posts? I have created multiple posts and there is too much space between the posts on my home page.
I appreciate your help.

Hi there, could you confirm that this is the space you’re trying to reduce?

If so, this custom CSS will reduce that; you can adjust the value as you like:
```
.home .entry-summary p {
  margin-bottom: 0.4em;
}
```
Let me know if that achieves the effect you’re after.

I apologize that I did not see your post sooner.

Thanks for this information.
Yes this was the area.

The big space I saw was if I did not include a featured image. The space for the featured image is still there (with no image). I was wondering if I did not include a featured image, how would I get rid of the space allowed for the featured image.
Does this question make sense?

I would be glad to help you with the custom CSS you need if you can point me to a page or post without a featured image. Right now your homepage posts both have one.

Keep in mind that that you still need to assign your posts to a placeholder page in Settings > General, or in the Customizer’s Static Front Page section. Right now there’s nowhere on your site to access all your blog posts. Here’s a guide that explains how to do that:

I just created a posts page. Right now it is not used on the website. However, I would like to add it for a repository to look back at posts that are not on the home page. However, I do not want to list the “sticky posts” that I use with my slider. Is it possible not to show the “sticky posts” on the posts page?

Yep, you can omit sticky posts from the blog (posts) page with this custom CSS:
```
.blog .sticky {
     display: none;
}
```
