 * I am trying to change the following line of code within style.css, so that I 
   can properly align a PayPal add to cart button.
 * .post_content input { margin:-6px 0px 10px 0px; }
 * I need to change the “-6px” value to “-9px”, however the template does not register
   changes beyond -6px. I am new to CSS, and can’t figure out why this change won’t
   register. Perhaps it’s being overruled by another setting somewhere.
 * My site uses the monochrome theme, however it is still being custom skinned and
   recoded, and isn’t viewable. Any help would be much appreciated.

 * Unless you provide a link to a page demonstrating the problem, no one will be
   able to offer much in the way of specific help.

 * I placed the blog on a temporary domain here:

 * As stated above, I need to decrease the space between the PayPal Add To Cart 
   button, and the text above it. The top margin for the element however seems to
   be maxed out at -6px, and won’t increase beyond that.

 * It’s underneath “Price: $2.00”.

 * It’s a custom “Add To Cart” PayPal button, which blends in with the overall text.
   Click “Add To Cart”, and you will see that it is active.

 * Ah – I thought the image was missing. 🙂
 * Try adding:
 * `form{margin:-5px 0 -1em;}`
 * to the bottom of your stylesheet. Ideally, you need to add a class to that form
   so you can target the styling a little more specifically rather than impacting
   on every form across the site.
