You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

this is why I asked for input before I changed over

Sorry about that. I didn't even know where the CSS site was until Friday.

Mea culpa. I would have been pissed at a client that did that to me. I had looked at the css version, but not really processed it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I was hoping I could change my settings so that there was less padding in the posts, especially at the bottom.

I tried changing this
post {
padding-bottom: 1.5em;
padding-top: 1em;
border-bottom: solid 1px;
}

to this

post {
padding-bottom: .25em;
padding-top: .25em;
border-bottom: solid 1px;
}

But it didn't help. What should I be doing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Everyone's getting the turbo css course. Kewl.

Except for those of you that didn't want it, sadly.

Perkins, try increasing the number instead--the padding is the blank space. Or have a look at what Jon's done at css.buffistas.net, and if that meets with general acclaim it can be ported over.

If I increase the padding number, there'll be less blank space?

I will try that.

The gray line of doom still shows up at the css site for me, by the way.

Figured out what was striking me odd about the left column. The horizontal rules between the link groups aren't there. Also, both the letter spacing and line spacing are greater than they used to be, so the links look bigger even though the font is the same point size.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm still seeing the extra thick line at the bottom at css.buffistas.net. Oh, wait, if I log in I see the fix. Looks good.

This is neat! Thanks ita and Jon!

Okay, weird, becaus I sure don't have it.

If I increase the padding number, there'll be less blank space?

Wait, I thought you wanted space between the lines so there wouldn't be the weirdness.

It's perfectly possible I need to go back to sleep and re-attempt this morning.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Perkins -- Can you explain better EXACTLY where you'd like less blank space? A post is made up of many parts.
