Hey there!
Happy to give you a hand. Can you tell me though – do you have a child theme installed? Or Jetpack? This will involve some changes to the CSS and we don’t want them to disappear at the next theme update. Let me know and we can take it from there.
Cheers!
Thank you!
I have Jetpack installed, but I’m not using a child theme. I’ve already made a couple of minor changes to CSS, therefore I’m guessing your next point is that I need to do something to preserve my changes…? 🙂
I’m new to that too, I’m afraid!

It’s just copying and pasting your changes into the Jetpack ‘Edit CSS’ option.
https://jetpack.me/support/custom-css/
Three options for you:
1) Go like the before posts
2) Create spacing sections in nested tables, i often do that for responsive concerns,
3) Try either web developer tools in Chrome or the equivalent in Firefox, i have a preference for the firefox one, then you can direclty see a “quite” render of your design while playing with size
All are very valid, because responsive is NEVER perfect,

– between the header and ‘posted by’
Add this:
.site-content {
padding-bottom: 1em;
padding-top: 3em;
}
– surrounding ‘filed under’
Add this:
.single .entry-footer {
padding-top: 0;
}
.site-content .post,
.site-content .type-attachment,
.search-results .site-content .page {
margin-bottom: 0;
padding-bottom: 3em;
}
– surrounding ‘previous post’
#nav-single,
#nav-image,
#nav-comments {
padding-bottom: 0;
}
– between the comment section and footer
#colophon {
padding-top: 2em;
}
ps: it’s not too spaced to me, look at medium.com posts – but take care of some unecessary spaces on the vertical spaces i think
and yes andrew did what i suggested 🙂

Well, I did what theboyellis suggested.
All that will work if your css is rather clear with no fluffles (font-size and so)
Gotcha, and done – thanks.

I’m not stopping you from providing a better solution.
Well i don’t know theboyellis, obviously a master at front-end design, without knowning theme and so, all that will just look great.
It does, i see it now, it’s all balanced and cool,
You just need to work on the lower-level blocks for it to be perfect,
You wonderful people – thanks very much.
Possibly needs a little more tweaking, but looks so much better now.
