 * hallo!
 * My website has a landing page divided in box areas (red areas) and text areas(
   white areas).
 * I’m trying to add this code
 * .lp-text-content {
    margin-bottom: -100px; }
 * to only the text-area-ONE, title CHICK-LIT PERSONAGENS, but I can’t figure out
   how. Can anyone help me?
 * Best regards, Irina

 * That section has an ID of `lp-text-one` so you could use
    `#lp-text-one .lp-text-
   content { margin-bottom: -100px }`
 * But negative margins often cause problems on differently sized windows, especially
   if you use pixel units.

 * Hallo, the code worked. THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😀
 * Hum… so whats it your tip to have the same negative margin and not use pixels?

 * Well, I would need to understand why you need a negative margin in the first 
   place.
    It seems to me that you can remove padding and margin from any element,
   so why close the gap with negative margins? Simply remove the space from the 
   other element.
 * But in general, you can use `em`, `ex`, `rem`, and `ch` to base it on the font
   size.
    You can use `%` to base it on the parent element(usually). With margin,
   it seems like `%` refers to width always; I’d have to look it up again. You can
   use `vw` for viewport width or `vh` for viewport height. You can see them all

 * Hallo. I’m using negative values because without it the text area has an huge
   space at the bottom after the content. You can see here: [https://imgur.com/a/MHm5c6C](https://imgur.com/a/MHm5c6C)

 * Yes, it looks like you are trying to overcome some inline CSS that says
 *     ```
       .page-id-77 .gallery {
           margin-top: -46px;
           margin-bottom: 85px;
       }
       ```

 * I’m using that because the margins on those text areas are huge, I got that code
   in the wordpress press forum after asking for a support.
 * So I studied the page you sent me, there is any site that can make the maths 
   like -10px is equal to 10%? So I can use other unit?
 * In your opinion in those units what it the best to substitute the negative pixel?

 * Ah, you didn’t really understand what I said if you are asking that.
    Have you
   tried viewing your site from a phone? Or just a small browser window? If it looks
   okay, don’t worry about it. The point is that it’s a bit messy to put a negative
   margin on the parent element to counteract a margin on the child element. (just
   remove both)

 * Hallo! Hope you are fine. Yes, I always test the site in two notebookes 15″ and
   12″; android mobile and tablet and ask my friend to see in iOS, so yes it is 
   fine.
 * I will close the topic, but continue to study the page you give so I can get 
   it. Thank you so much for your help.
 * I wish you the best
