H2 margins — Skirmish

which h2?

the post titles on the front for instance are h1.

can you point out exactly what title/text you mean?

have you tried to work with a browser inspection tool to find out where the titles are styled in the stylesheets of the theme?

Thank you for your quick reply.

In the post at https://themusingsofthebigredcar.com/a-jockey-a-horse-a-course/

The title is an H1 — A jockey, a horse, a course

The subdivision title is an H2 — as an example “The Jockey”

I would like the H2 to be farther away from the body of the text.

I have used the inspection tool to locate the H2 in the inspection CSS. When I make that change in the inspection tool, it is perfect.

I cannot locate H2 on the CSS for the theme editor.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

try:
.hentry h2 { margin-bottom: 20px; }

No good. I tried putting it between the h1 and h2 attributes and also extending the h2 attributes. No change.

h1, h2, h3 {
color: #b22222;
text-rendering: optimizelegibility;
font-family:”georgia”, arial;
font-weight:normal;
}
h1{font-size:28px; font-family:Lusitana, “georgia”, helvetica, arial;}
h2{font-size:26px; font-family:Lusitana, “helvetica”, arial; font-color:b22222; margin-bottom:20px;}
h3{font-size:24px; font-family:”georgia”, helvetica, arial;}
h4{font-size:22px; font-family:”georgia”, helvetica, arial;}
h5{font-size:18px; font-family:”georgia”, helvetica, arial;}
h6{font-size:16px; font-family:”georgia”, helvetica, arial;}
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {
clear: both;
}
hr {
background-color: #ccc;
border: 0;
height: 1px;
margin-bottom: 1.5em;
}

this line should have done it:

h2{font-size:26px; font-family:Lusitana, "helvetica", arial; font-color:b22222; margin-bottom:20px;}

imho, trying customisations while a cache plugin is active, is not a good idea;

your page seems to be cached: Served from: themusingsofthebigredcar.com @ 2013-01-24 23:03:23 -->

Aaaha, I never thought of that. The cache. Makes perfect sense. Let me strip the cache and try again. Thank you.

What you have typed is exactly what I tried, so it must be the cache.

Thank you, I will report back.

It WAS the cache. Thank you. Is there a place I can make a small donation?
