* Hi there
I am writing posts and the margins spread from the left side of the
screen all the way to the right of the screen. I really want to shrink it in
so its more centered in the page.
* I have found some CSS options but when I put them in they dont seem to make any
changes to my posts.
* Thanks in advance for your help.
* The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fchanging-margins-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

* I dont have my site posted yet so you wont be able to see it..
* but basically it is doing this
* “The dog went to the store by himself and the store manager gave him some much
needed lip balm”
* and I want
* “The dog went to the store by himself and
the store manager gave him some much
needed lip balm”
* That may obvious but just so you kind of understand what I’m getting at here
haha. I have tried other CSS and it just doesnt seem to work?

* Hi [@kristinainnemee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kristinainnemee/),
* The way to show a text like that is adding a `
` element at each end-of-line.
* `The dog went to the store by himself and
the store manager gave him some
much
needed lip balm`
* But I’m almost sure this is not what you are talking about! In order to give
you a CSS code, I need to see the container or other elements from the HTML and
that can only happen by inspecting it. Maybe if you upload your site to a temp
domain I can check it very quickly.
* Please, let me know if you need any further assistance.
Kind regards, Diego
