Hi all.

Please forgive me for this uber-novice question. Here goes: On my site, http://speakyourdreams.wordpress.com/, you'll notice that while I have changed the background color, there remains white spaces around the buttons, search boxes, etc. How do I get rid of this white space?

Thanks for any help!

date = style the h4

date = style the h4 tags

buttons = style .post_meta p. Keep in mind, you'll need to change the image backgrounds to match that of the page, if thats what you want. Its the actual image that shows the lighter color background.

box at bottom = This has navigational graphics associated with it that are not showing. Arrows it looks like. If you dont need this, then just delete the div that holds these navigation controls and get rid of it completely. Its a div with a class of .navigation.


First basic few steps in building a webpage
1. Gather and collect content.
2. Organize the content into meaningful semantic valid HTML
3. Design the prototype
4. Style using CSS

As an aside, you can use one of the web development extensions available to find out what each element is on the page and then modify your CSS.
