# Space between textblocks – cannot remove it!?

 * Hi All
 * On my site [http://www.yoke.dk](http://www.yoke.dk) you’ll see a list of projects
   presented with text and pictures. Between the textblocks and the pictures you’ll
   see a black space. This space between the elements I really wanna change, but
   I don’t know how to?
 * On my WP edit page I’ve tried putting in text and pictures with as little space
   between them as I can. But it doesn’t seem to matter what I do here.
 * I’m not sure if this is something that I should change in my stylesheet? I’ve
   posted it below.
 * Hop you can help me.
    – Jesper

 * Try adding this to the bottom of your stylesheet to increase the gap between 
   the projects:
 *     ```
       #content .entry-content p {
       margin-bottom: 20px;
       }
       ```
   
 * It is not the best way though, as you code is all inside a p tag for the projects
   which is not great.

 * Hi
 * I tried that, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect. Thanks though.
 * I’ve posted a new post called ‘Controlling space between content elements?’. 
   Maybe this one explains my problem a bit better?

 * Are you trying to close the black space between the images and the details for
   the images?
 * Maybe you can try adding:
 *     ```
       #content .entry-content p img{
       margin-bottom: 0; padding-bottom: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * to your CSS File.

 * Yes, I am trying to close the black gap between the images and the details for
   the images, as well as the gap above every headline. And in particular the gap
   between the thick white line at the top of the screen and the first headline.
   This space is so annoying!
 * I tried your suggestion but it didn’t work…?
 * Hope you can help again. Thanks!

 * I hope you don’t mind a small quick hack..
 *     ```
       #content .entry-content p img{
       margin-bottom: -10px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regarding the space between the first headline and your navigation, you can add
   this to your CSS:
 *     ```
       #content{margin-top: 0!important;}
       ```

 * As long as it works I’m all fine 🙂
 * And it did! For the most part. On the projects page the space between the thin
   white line and the following headlines varies a little bit. Any thoughts on how
   to fix this?
 * It would be so cool if you could control every single space between every element.
 * Thanks! 🙂

 * For the above, add this to your CSS:
 *     ```
       .entry-header{display:none!important;}
       ```
   
 * This hides your header text which was causing the space…

 * err.. I don’t get this part… what are the spaces you’re refering to?

 * Thank you for your help!
 * I’m basically talking about all the spaces between texts, pictures, headlines
   and so on. But I guess it’s more complicated than just that?
 * I gotta go know, but will be back tomorrow. I’ll post again if necessary!
 * Thanks a lot 🙂

 * Sure, you can control spaces for every single element.
 * You can actually control all elements at once using *
    However, in normal cases,
   specific element selectors will override it. You can easily get past that using!
   important.
 * For example,
 *     ```
       *{margin-top: 0!important; margin-bottom: 0 !important}
       ```
