Requesting CSS spacing change aid
-
Hello, the blog I’m looking for help with is Geekorner, and I’ve been trying to mess with CSS a bit. Didn’t buy the upgrade, checking it works out fine via the preview beforehand.
Anyway, the things I want to change are: Space between paragraphs, space between lines, font size.
While enabling inspect-element mode I manage to change them all to my liking, but when I attempt to copy the CSS only the font-size changes.
Font size change which works:
body {
color: #555;
font-family: Verdana,”BitStream vera Sans”,Helvetica,Sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;Spacing change which doesn’t work:
.post .content {
line-height: 170%;
}.post .content p {
margin-bottom: 15px;
}The two of them say they’re dependent on something originating elsewhere, which I do not know how to change.

The above codes are all correct. If the second and third one didn’t work, then maybe there was a glitch with the preview function, or maybe you have a browser issue. They worked fine in my test blog (both while previewing and on the actual blog page after I saved them) so I can assure you they’ll work when you buy the upgrade.
Re the first code: adding properties and values you don’t change is redundant. If you want to change only the font size of “body”, you add only this:
body { font-size: 14px; } -
I see.
Just to clarify, I’m only modifying the CSS, I’m only copy-pasting these and changing nothing else. Hm.
As someone else said, the preview of font change doesn’t work either currently, so there might be a preview issue…

I was using iNove, current Google Chrome.
Ok, I figured out this problem at least, the lack of closing } in the first item meant the next two wouldn’t propagate :)

a) If you keep having problems, try Firefox or Safari.
b) Good catch! Sorry it didn’t occur to me: you pasted that code separately (adding text after it), so I thought the missing bracket was a mistake while copypasting here only.
