# modifying a template

 * I am in the process of moving my blog to wordpress and have found it somewhat
   difficult at the beginning. But I think I am getting there. I have found a templatebased
   on rubric that I like, except for one thing. I don’t know how to add extra space
   between the post title and the post content, and then between the post content
   and the comments, and finally between the content and the next post. I’d like
   to add spaces or even a line, but I am too much of a novice at CSS to do it. 
   Can someone help me? I don’t really want to dive into a CSS tutorial at the time
   being ;o)
    TIA Claude [http://covonline.net](http://covonline.net)

 * Well, the CSS is the simplest way to do it actually. To separate the post content
   from the post title, find in your wp-layout.css file the following:
    `.storytitle{
   margin-top: 0.25em; **padding-bottom: 10px;** } You can make it larger or smaller,
   however much you need. As for in between posts and the comments… Based on the
   HTML that you wrote, you can add the following in your CSS file: #comments { 
   padding-top: 10px; } Again, you can increase the number to increase the size 
   of the space.
