 * Hi there,
 * I’ve hired a developer who created a theme for my wordpress.org blog.
    I’m trying
   to increase the spacement between lines and couldn’t find the exact part of the
   code to be edited. I appreciate your support to help me finding out the correct
   script to be modified.
 * Thanks

 * That depends if you want to change the line-height for the entire page or just
   specific parts, like posts.
 * For just posts add this
 * `.post { line-height:160%; }`

 * line-height for the entire page.
    in this case, what part of the code I need 
   to edit? Thanks a lot!

 * In that case add
 * `body { line-height:160% !important; }`
 * at the top of the page. The !important part is there to override any further 
   difinitions to line-height. Hopefully it will look alright.
