Remove indents and paragraph spacing

I know there are already other posts that deal with similar issues, but nothing I’ve tried has worked, so maybe someone can help me specifically.
When I create a post, the first line in the paragraph is always indented. I don’t want it to be. I tried to change the p {text-indent} setting in the .css to zero, and I even tried deleting it, but my paragraphs were still showing up with the first line indented. If I provide you with the .css, can you tell me exactly what I need to add/remove/change to accomplish this?

Probably. But we can’t do anything without seeing the site AND the CSS (to make sure what you think the bad CSS is actually is, yanno!) 🙂

Nah, that’s okay 🙂

It’s this:

p {
	margin: 15px 0px;
	line-height: 1.5em;
        text-indent: 15px;
}

The text-indent is indenting. 🙂 Remove that and carry on!
