Text Formatting CSS

[pacecom]

Hi,

How can I raise the blog post excerpt text, “.entry-content”, by 15px WITHOUT raising the full post text?

See images:
1) excerpt text - http://www.screencast.com/users/pacecom/folders/Default/media/8d372d81-794e-46c6-af3d-596751f8d2ff
2) full post text - http://www.screencast.com/users/pacecom/folders/Default/media/382613e6-c379-483c-b1bd-0bf73809c73c

Thanks,
Peter

Hi,
I would try adding a class to the excerpt that could then be styled differently in your stylesheet.

This might be a good place to start looking.

Add Class to All Excerpts in WordPress

Hope that helps.

Hi Jackie,

I added the exact PHP code and CSS code that was in the article to see what would happen and it changed nothing.

Both the excerpt and the full post are using the same classes:

.entry-content ol, .entry-content p, .entry-content ul, .quote-caption {
margin-bottom: 20px;

and both are wrapped in <p> </p>

Not sure how to add a different class since both are using the same classes. Whatever I change on the "post excerpt text" also changes on the "full post text."

This is beyond my basic knowledge base. Any specific code that you can see in Firebug that would result in the changes I'm seeking?

Thanks,
Peter
