 * This is link to my blog: [http://www.allsmsmessages.com/blog/](http://www.allsmsmessages.com/blog/)
   on home page and archive pages i.e. [http://www.allsmsmessages.com/blog/category/greetings/new-year](http://www.allsmsmessages.com/blog/category/greetings/new-year)..
   there’s a visible space between the latest post and previous posts. How to decrease
   the unnecessary space.

 * Try removing `<div style="clear: both;"></div>` from the Loop within your theme’s
   template files.

 * it can possibly be fixed by adding `overflow:hidden;` the the style of `.entry`
   in style.css of your theme:
 *     ```
       .entry {
       	padding: 10px 0 2px 0px;
       	border-top: 1px solid #CCC;
       	line-height: 1.4em;
       	margin: 0 170px 25px 0;
       overflow:hidden;
       	}
       ```

 * it resolves the prob on archive and category page, but home page now shows too
   much blank space before first post [http://www.allsmsmessages.com/blog/](http://www.allsmsmessages.com/blog/)….
   i guess need to add more code to fix this on home page too?

 * add this new style after the style of #wrap:
 *     ```
       #wrap:after {
           content: ".";
           display: block;
           height: 0;
           clear: both;
           visibility: hidden;
       }
       ```
   
 * and add a ‘float:left;’ to the style of #main:
 *     ```
       #main {
       	width: 800px;	margin: 12px 20px 0 170px;
       	padding-bottom: 50px;
       float:left;
       	}
       ```
