http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=CB7B3 Thanks for the push in the right direction. I've made the changes to css file. You can see the changes now. http://dev.tonedeafdesign.com/ob/test.html http://dev.tonedeafdesign.com/ob/css/global.css I just added: p, h1, h2, h3 { margin: 0; padding: 5px 0; } And that tightened everything up.
