 * Hi, I’d like to know how to lessen the vertical space between widgets to about
   half. In regards to specifically my social icons, the blog lovin’ image, and 
   my author image. [http://produceonparade.com/](http://produceonparade.com/)

 * You can remove the space below the social icons as well as the Bloglovin’ image
   using the following custom CSS example:
 *     ```
       #secondary .simple-social-icons,
       #secondary .widget_sp_image {
       	margin-bottom: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * To add custom CSS to your site, I would recommend using a plugin like [Jetpack](http://jetpack.me/)—
   it has a Custom CSS editor built in. If you have Jetpack installed with Custom
   CSS activated, you can go to Appearance > Edit CSS to add the example from above.

 * I couldn’t find that in my CSS editor…I do have Jetpack installed. I do not use
   Edit CSS though, I use Editor. Hummmm….

 * Do you have the Jetpack Custom CSS editor activated? If you do, you can add the
   CSS Sheri provided above. You won’t see it in the editor already, it’s something
   you’d add yourself.

 * Hi,
    I just tried to tighten up my widgets using the CSS listed above and had
   no change. Maye I did it wrong. I just added the CSS code to my custom CSS editor.
   Is there another place I should have added it in? My blog is:

 * The code above only targetted two specific widgets from the OP’s site. Your site
   may require different code, which is why it’s usually better to start your own
   thread. 😉
 * For which specific widgets are you trying to reduce the space above or below?
