Why so much space between entries?!?! (moveable type 3.2)

MCDomains · 05-08-2006, 10:51 AM

too much white space between the entries, I can't see what's causing it.

Any ideas?

The problem is actually in the CSS, not the HTML.

If you can edit base-weblog.css, find the following:

Code:

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { font-weight: normal; }
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, ol, ul, pre, blockquote
{
	margin-top: 10px;
	margin-bottom: 10px;
}

And change the margin-top: to a lower number.
