   I am new to wordpress and amazed by what it does. i am having trouble doing what I would consider minor compared other things it can do. the three main things are:

   decreasing the margin at the top
   placing a border around the blog image and description to separate it from the rest of the page
   increasing font size and changing the color of the blog post title

   I have seen information on changing the code, but nothing seems to change when I do that. I must be changing the wrong code, but figure there might be an easier way.

   Thank you!

   a link to your site might get you more replies, as css adaptations are best made seeing the live site.

   the top margin is in here:
   

   #wrapper {
   	background: #fff;
   	margin-top: 20px;
   	padding: 0 20px;
   }

   image borders possibly in here:
   

   #content img {
   	margin: 0;
   	height: auto;
   	max-width: 640px;
   	width: auto;
   }

   blog post title:
   

   #content .entry-title {
   	color: #000;
   	font-size: 21px;
   	font-weight: bold;
   	line-height: 1.3em;
   	margin-bottom: 0;
   }

   for the linked post titles on the front page, you might need to make a new style
   #content .entry-title a { ... }

   Hello, Thank you for the post. I assume the changes should be noticeable immediately. I changed the margin-top to 5px and the background to #848484 in style.css and nothing appears to change. I will try to enter a link. Thank you!

   well, sometimes, the browser holds on to 'old' stuff, then you need to clear the browser cache by using the 'reload' button or by pressing 'ctrl' and 'f5' at the same time.

   I think I have been able to make most of the modifications I was hoping for. I wound up adding a twenty ten child theme. I would like to remove some, if not all of the space above the post. Basically remove where it says "Hello world" and "ads"

   the only other thing I am thinking about is making the box with the post with picture 940px width and splitting the columns below that if possible.

   Thanks!

   To add a link, the way I do it is to go to the page you want to link.
   Head up to the address box of your browser. Highlight the address there and press CTRL+C (that copied the address into memory)

   Then come to where you want to add the link and you can do it two ways:
   1) Just place your cursor where you want it to show and press CRTL+V and that will paste it like this: http://wordpress.org/

   2) or you can convert any word or letter to be a link by highlighting it and use the 'link' button at the top of the reply box. A pop-up appears and all you have to do is enter the address in that.(as I have done several times to show the effect)
