Hi i have installed biggiesmalls and I love it, so much to play with..

So far in a couple of days I have achieved so much more than I could before, but I need a small bit of help...
now I'm not sure if its a template thing or what..
but I want to move things in tighter so to speak

I have drawn in green where I mean.. its mainly the articals on the left hand side that bother methe most,rather tham the moduels, both both would be nice
many thanks and I hope I have posted in the right place
Dave

Could you give me a link to your site? It is a little bit difficult to tell you what to change without looking at the code.

Here we go:

latest fastlane ....

open layout.css and find
#main_content_supp {
margin:0 0 20px;
padding:10px;
}
make it:
#main_content_supp {
padding:10px;
}

If you want to remove another 10px from the breadcrumb find:
#breadcrumb {
font-size:0.75em;
margin:10px 0;
text-transform:uppercase;
}

change it to
#breadcrumb {
font-size:0.75em;
text-transform:uppercase;
}

widopen
.blog {
margin-top:10px;
}

change to
.blog {
margin-top:0;
}

If you want to remove more from the title you will have to go in the typorgraphy.css . All headers have the following code:
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 {
margin:15px 0 10px;
}

Play with the margin to reach your goal. If you want that all of the headers have the above margin, but only h2 has a smaller one write a definition like this in typography.css after the above this code
h2{
margin: your specific height;
}
for the other gaps:
.leading_separator {
margin-bottom:20px;
width:100%;
}
to
.leading_separator {
margin-bottom:0;
width:100%;
}
And for the modules on the right:
.module, .module_menu, .module_text {
margin-bottom:20px;
}
to
.module, .module_menu, .module_text {
margin-bottom: the value you want;
}

Man I thought you like the template :D
And the second thing I thought was that nobody will have to change the layout widths and heights trough the backend, but obviously I'm wrong :)

Hey Daniel, your a star , thank you for your time, I've had a play and I'm a happy bunny,I'm pretty much getting the site to how I want it to be.
I have been using joomla for about 6 months ,I decided to do my own site, 1 because of costs!
Also I wanted to be able to update it, I have tried various free template in my quest for my goal but biggie smalls is worth every penny, I still have my buttoms and a few more things to do and it will be mint! I love the comments componet to it works a treat and is being used already, the site took me 3 days so far....long days ..but I'm chuffed will update you when I've done the buttons
Massive thanks
Dave
