Styling Help!

how’s it going? I had a quick question… I was wondering is there a way I can style my Recent Post? Basically what I’m trying to do is add space between the thumbnail image and content on my front “static page.” You can view the page here… thisislavie.com Hope this is not too confusing. Thanks in advance!!

Here’s the coding:

<?php
$previous_posts = get_posts(‘numberposts=4&cat=-36’);
foreach($previous_posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”><h8><?php the_title(); ?></h8>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>   <div style=”padding:5px; background:#ffffff; text-align:right”>” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>Read more »</div>
<p></p><img src=”https://www.thisislavie.com/images/v2/dashline.gif&#8221; width=”442″ alt=””><p></p><p></p>
<?php endforeach; ?>
