To or not to , that is the question
-
I’ve been dabbling with firebug and I am beginning to see daylight…lol. I sort of accidentally discovered the easiest way to get to the source code of a text window, simply right click and firebug gives the menu including “inspect element.” The video guy went pretty fast and I missed some things, I was going, “Wait, wait…wait!! Slow down, buddy!”
Anyway, I know how to bring up the source code of a text window. But here –

I would like to add a small amount of space (a blank line?) under the post title, as I’ve been doing elsewhere. Trying to be consistent everywhere. Farther down in the post you can see I diddled with the margin element to get the spacing to look better. I don’t know how else to do it and keep my job simple. In source code I see line breaks, but I suppose I do need at least one of them between each photo. I’m still a little vague about firebug… =
Anyway, at the post top, what would I do about *adding* a bit of space there? All this time my concern was mostly removing spaces (which I can sometimes do by visually deleting an extra line). Now I wonder how to actually add one. I tried adding a break tag but it did nothing.
Thanks in advance–

Sorry! The title of this post was meant to be ” to break or not to break…” but it seems the actual tags won’t show up…

I also discovered that if you aligncenter an image, it takes away the desired small space under the post title… :(

As this is a CSS question I’m flagging it so our Moderators move it to the CSS Forum for you.

@honeybunch55, do you have the CSS upgrade? I didn’t think you did. On the top image I see you have declared a “margin-top” in the inline CSS for the image code. That is about the only way to do it if you do not have the CSS upgrade.

I’ve….sort of changed my mind about the margin elements, as this creates a whole heckuva lot more work which is probably unnecessary. This will be a large and extensive site, it would take literally years to adjust each and every space between each and every image… I think unless something really looks wrong, I’m better off to just make do with a blank between html codes for each image and otherwise using the visual editor.
Nope, I don’t have the CSS upgrade, and any margin declarations of mine don’t seem to do anything to fix the header issue. So, I guess I’ll have to let that little inconsistency pass… :-)

On the top image, right below the title, you can do a margin-top which will space it down. For posts or pages where there is text at the top, it can be done there as well with a little inline CSS, but you are right, it takes more time.
The only way to take the pain out of it is with the CSS upgrade.
