White space in columns, BIG headlines (4 posts)

    I'm using a theme called Daily Gonzo that works well for my purposes. However, it automatically justifies text in the columns, leaving gaping white space on many lines that looks pretty terrible. It also generates HUGE headlines for the newest post. Being a newbie, I don't know how to deal with either of these problems. If anyone can suggest solutions, please offer them in a simple, step-by-step manner, as I seem to be one of those "dummies" that Lisa Sabin-Wilson writes books for. Lots to learn, and it doesn't come easily for me. Thanks!

    It would help if you posted a URL.

    The headline is controlled by this CSS in the style.css

    div.latest h2 {
    color:#000000;
    font-size:5em;
    line-height:1em;
    }

    Changing the font-size:5em; to a 3em will reduce the headline.

    The text is controlled by this code

    body {
    background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
    color:black;
    font-family:Georgia,"Lucida bright","Times new roman",Georgia,"lucida bright",serif;
    font-size:11pt;
    line-height:1;
    margin:0 auto;
    max-width:1200px;
    padding:0;
    text-align:justify;
    }

    Changing the text-align:justify; to left will align the text left. And changing the font-size:11pt; to a 10pt may also help.

    Hope this helps point you in the right direction.
