   Hi all:

   I'm tweaking my new installation of wordpress and having some problems trying to figure out how to add spaces between the nav bar and the articles...right now it's wrapping around them:

   It's amazing to me that wordpress has so many followers since it's so hard to use...and support is so challenging to get...

   I would define what you call the navigation bar at first before posting a negative comment about the popular blog software package. I would also open and edit style.css inside a theme folder or run search, depending on what you mean by the navigation bar.

   Please see the link below for what I am referring to...

   I've read everything I can about the style.css and its still not clear to me how to add a line break between the previous and next article "nav bar" and the article itself

   thanks for responding though!

   Perhaps a pointer...is it in the style.css that would control the space between the article forward and back nav bar...and what part?

   Thanks...

   seems to me there would be a visual editor so you wouldn't have to be a codie to add a blank line...

   I'm not really clear what you are trying to do...is this what you want...space between the previous and next post links:

    Open the single.php file in the default theme and find the following code near the top:

    <div class="navigation">
    <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link') ?></div>
    <div class="alignright"><?php next_post_link('%link &raquo;') ?></div>
    </div>

    Jut add a couple of br tags at the end of the previous post, like this:

    <div class="navigation">
    <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link') ?></div><br /><br />
    <div class="alignright"><?php next_post_link('%link &raquo;') ?></div>
    </div>
