 * I _think_ this is what you are referring to:
 * #content {
    margin:0; padding:25px 0; width:auto; height:auto; }
 * Try changing 25px to 7px, and see if that is what you are after.

 * > found it in Stylesheet under editor
 * ahhh…HA!
 * You’re on the right track. The built in WordPress file editor may not always 
   save your changes due to file permissions. That is actually a _good _thing! You
   may need to pop into the theme with your ftp client and make the changes from
   there. It is generally quick, and usually safer than altering file permissions
   just for quick edits. Don’t forget to make a backup copy just in case. You can
   use your ftp client or your hosts file manager in Cpanel to edit the style.css
   and see if that does it for you.

 * thank you very much. I noticed the change you mentioned before.the whole content
   box shifted upwards not the content in that box itself. Perhaps, i should play
   with other values in the code eh?to see if its working

 * Give this a try…
 * .post-content {
    margin:0; **padding:20px;** width:498px; height:auto; float:
   right; border-left:1px solid #d9e2e9; background:#FFF; }
 * try change the padding to;
 * **padding:10px 20px;**
 * Does that move it in the right direction at all?

 * Yes it moves in the right direction but it was only a small shift. I even change
   it to padding:0px 20px; but it still a small shift (better than padding:10px 
   20px; though). In fact I even tried -ve value (lol), it shifted all the way up
   like i wanted it to but introduce a line besides the post.weird. any other idea?
 * anyway, i truly appreciate your help up to this point.

 * Found it,found it….hahahaha… played with the code in .post-content { as you pointed
   out,change the width etc. turned out the line appears beside the post is kinda
   a box for the content and when it overlaps with the side box causes the contents
   to shift downward. I adjusted so that the content box not really overlap with
   the side box (kinda, i dont really know if thats right). hahaha. thanks again
   ClaytonJames.
