   I cannot figure out how to modify the margins AFTER the H2 header.

   My H2 header sits right on top of my paragraph.

   Thank you.

   which h2?

   the post titles on the front for instance are h1.

   can you point out exactly what title/text you mean?

   have you tried to work with a browser inspection tool to find out where the titles are styled in the stylesheets of the theme?

   Thank you for your quick reply.

   In the post at http://themusingsofthebigredcar.com/a-jockey-a-horse-a-course/

   The title is an H1 --- A jockey, a horse, a course

   The subdivision title is an H2 --- as an example "The Jockey"

   I would like the H2 to be farther away from the body of the text.

   I have used the inspection tool to locate the H2 in the inspection CSS. When I make that change in the inspection tool, it is perfect.

   I cannot locate H2 on the CSS for the theme editor.

   Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

   No good. I tried putting it between the h1 and h2 attributes and also extending the h2 attributes. No change.

   h1, h2, h3 {
   color: #b22222;
   text-rendering: optimizelegibility;
   font-family:"georgia", arial;
   font-weight:normal;
   }
   h1{font-size:28px; font-family:Lusitana, "georgia", helvetica, arial;}
   h2{font-size:26px; font-family:Lusitana, "helvetica", arial; font-color:b22222; margin-bottom:20px;}
   h3{font-size:24px; font-family:"georgia", helvetica, arial;}
   h4{font-size:22px; font-family:"georgia", helvetica, arial;}
   h5{font-size:18px; font-family:"georgia", helvetica, arial;}
   h6{font-size:16px; font-family:"georgia", helvetica, arial;}
   h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {
   clear: both;
   }
   hr {
   background-color: #ccc;
   border: 0;
   height: 1px;
   margin-bottom: 1.5em;
   }

   this line should have done it:

   h2{font-size:26px; font-family:Lusitana, "helvetica", arial; font-color:b22222; margin-bottom:20px;}

   imho, trying customisations while a cache plugin is active, is not a good idea;

   your page seems to be cached: Served from: themusingsofthebigredcar.com @ 2013-01-24 23:03:23 -->

   Aaaha, I never thought of that. The cache. Makes perfect sense. Let me strip the cache and try again. Thank you.

   What you have typed is exactly what I tried, so it must be the cache.

   Thank you, I will report back.

   It WAS the cache. Thank you. Is there a place I can make a small donation?
