# Formatting content using CSS

 * My blog, just below the header, has a heading, and then the content. I’d like
   to increase the space between the header, and the heading of the page.
 * <h2>[Link Building Steps](http://www.improveyourwebvisibility.com/blog/link-building-steps)
   </h2>
 * My heading is Link Building Steps. I tried adding top margins and top padding
   to every <h2> in the stylesheet, but nothing worked. Is there more than one stylesheet?
   I’m using the one located in wp-content/themes/default.
 * I’d also like to decrease the space between the heading above and where the content
   starts. I’m just not finding this in the CSS.
 * Thank you.

 * Your not using the default theme so don’t edit that one. You need to edit the
   one that is in your current themes directory.

 * Thank you so much. Sorry for the newbie question. I have two more. I’m pulling
   every file I can think of but I’m not showing the footer info. I need to change
   the copyright.
 * Also, right under the headings is my content. There’s a large space there and
   I’m trying to decrease it. It’s telling me it’s in the entry class, but I went
   there and there is no margin or padding, and I tried to make it a negative value
   but this didn’t work either.
 * In regards to the headings, the first heading, is the one I wanted to have more
   space between the header. However, all the headings are <h2>, so it affected 
   all headings further down the page. I’m not seeing in the code where the different
   headings are so I can put the ones after the first one in a different class without
   the top padding.
 * Thank you for your help!
