 * Hi!
 * Have a general question about applying custom css:
 * On this URL:
 * [http://hvalsafari.eybjorn.com/forside-1/](http://hvalsafari.eybjorn.com/forside-1/)
 * I am trying to remove the white spaces between sections. In firefox i use the
   inspector and I have found that I can adjust this by editing an “attribute” called
   margin-bottom. In the inspector I can read the following:
 * `#pg-5956-0, #pg-5956-1, #pg-5956-2, #pl-5956 .panel-grid-cell .panel { margin-
   bottom: 30px; }`
 * I tried to apply this to my custom css but nothing happens. When I use the inspector,
   I can also see that I have more “levels” above this…for example a class called
   page-id-5956.
 * My question is, how must I apply this to my custom css. Do I need to start “on
   top” specifying every class from the page id and down. I am completely new to
   using CSS so my explantions might not be the best. Are just trying to get the
   logic on how to use the inpector to find the right variables to adjust and then
   add it to the CSS….

 * Hi Sauron,
 * In the custom.css file:
 *     ```
       }
       #page-id-5956 #pg-5956-1 .panel-grid-cell .panel {
               margin-bottom: 30px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Change the margin-bottom value to -7px or other if it doesn’t work like it should.
   That is all you need to do if you want to get rid of the white space.
