# Removing Comment Space

 * **Context:** The page I am developing is purely informational — it is not intended
   to be interactive via the commenting section of the page. Thus, I have removed
   all ability to comment via the dashboard.
 * **Desired Action:** I am seeking to remove the space between the bottom of the
   content and the top of the footer. Therefore, I have no need to retain the space
   between the content and the top of the footer. Currently, there is a line at 
   the bottom of the content and another line at the top of the footer. I would 
   really like to also remove the line below the content as well as the commenting
   space. I am sure this is a simple CSS fix, but it’s stumped me all afternoon.
 * **Background: **I am running a WP TwentyTwelve child theme, self-hosted, currently
   in a development atmosphere using MAMP. Therefore, I cannot unfortunately share
   the page with the forum. However, I have taken a screen shot of the space I am
   trying to eliminate. Available here: [http://imgur.com/TJ8iDYf](http://imgur.com/TJ8iDYf)
 * Thanks for your help in advance!

 * That margin is coming from the `.site-content article` CSS rule on line 958 of`
   style.css` (assuming the style is inherited from Twenty Twelve itself).
 * To override it for all pages:
 *     ```
       .page .site-content article {
           margin-bottom: 0px;
           border-bottom: none /* if you want to remove the double-ruled line */
       }
       ```
   
 * If instead of overriding on all pages, you only want to override on a specific
   page template, named `template-foobar.php`:
 *     ```
       .page-template-template-foobar-php .site-content article {
           margin-bottom: 0px;
           border-bottom: none /* if you want to remove the double-ruled line */
       }
       ```
   
 * That CSS class construct is:
 *     ```
       .page-template-{filename-ext}
       ```
   
 * Note also that there is some top margin on `footer[role="contentinfo"]`, that
   you may want to override similarly.
