Halp!
So, here’s the deal. I’m not a noob. However, I’m not entirely proficient with CSS, and the paragraph spacing on this site is driving me insane. I don’t know how to change it! If you think you can steer me in the right direction, please drop a comment, or hit me up on the contact form.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Jezrael hooked me up. Thanks a ton!

Hola Grizz! I’m no CSS guru myself and know little about wordpress but, are you meaning the spaces between lines of text or the spaces between paragraphs?
If you want to change the spacing between lines you need to change the line height. In your wordpress template you will need to make this change in the ‘.entry’ part. I have my blog line height set to 1.8em. If you want to change the spacing between paragraphs you change it at ‘.entry p’ – this is the paragraph class for the entry div. If you set it to ‘margin: 20px 0pt 0pt;’ there will appear to be 2 line breaks between paragraphs. Your current setting is ‘margin: 6px 0pt 0pt; so you might find 20px is too much.
How did I work this out? Using a nifty add on for Firefox called Firebug and a google search for ‘CSS paragraph line height’. Hope this helps!

Pleasure to help Grizz
As I was going to sleep last night I realised that something I’d said was incorrect. I really hate providing incorrect information but like I say – I’m really no expert with CSS. My incorrect info was to say that .entry p is a class of the entry div – it’s actually a class of content.. I think.
Coming back here today I also noticed that the text for comments is pretty smooshed. If you want to change the look of that too you can by adding a line-height to #comments in your template to increase the line spacing and to increase the spacing between paragraphs add the following the comments part of your template: #comments p{
margin:10px;
}
Set the px to whatever size you prefer. Hope this helps too
