# Remove spaces?

 * Could someone please tell me how I can remove the spaces between the date, the
   title and the content? I would like a <BR> as opposed to a but can’t find where
   to edit this.
    Here is the blog page [http://www.fetal.ca](http://www.fetal.ca)
   showing the spaces and here is the code that calls the content. <!– // loop start–
   > <?php foreach ($posts as $post) { start_wp(); ?> <?php the_date(“D M d Y”,”
   <h4><I>”,”</I></h4>”); ?> ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Read More: <?php the_title();?
   >”><b> <?php the_title(); ?> </b> <?php the_content(); ?> <?php link_pages(“Pages:“,”“,”
   number”) ?> <?php } ?> <!– // loop end –> Thanks for your help.

 * look under your wp-layout.css file.
    specifically, the : h2 tag h3 tag .meta,.
   meta a .story title and so forth. it could be your cell padding thats making 
   the spaces. look around those css properties.

 * Tons:
    You can just add a `<BR>` after each meta element if you want to force
   linebreaks. like: ` <?php the_title(); ?> <BR/>  That make sense? =d

 * I’m a bit confused so i’ll try to explain both of things I’m thinking of
    Basically
   H4 is a block level element so you could change it by doing something like h4{
   display:inline;} would give you DATE TITLE If its just the space you want rid
   of rather than have them inline then you could do h4 { padding: 2px 0 0 2px; 
   margin:0; } should give DATE TITLE Which should close up the space between the
   line – there may even be scope for using line-height but try the above before
   you do to see if it works
