    I am new to wordpress and currently building a blog. I need help on
   the following: 1. How do I reduce the space between two lines on my blog. The
   spacing between my lines are big and I want to reduce it. In addition, the space
   between the writing and heading have similar issue.

 * If your theme provides a way to enter custom CSS, use that. Otherwise, you should
   create a [Child](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) theme or use a CSS 
   plugin such as [Simple Custom CSS](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/)
   to make your changes. If you do not, all of your changes will be lost if you 
   update your theme.
 * You can test this by adding it to the end of your theme’s style.css, but to make
   it permanent, you should do as suggested above:
 *     ```
       h1.post-entry-title { padding: 10px 0 5px; }
       .post-entry-content { line-height: 1.5em !important; }
       ```

 * If these are the 3rd and 4th lines, they are spaced just like the ones above:
