Hey everyone, I'm brand new to this forum. Usually I like to figure out problems just by searching online, and avoid bothering others on forums, but I CAN'T figure this one out!

I just started a small blog for a few friends of mine and myself, and used bloggers's widget thingy to place the "Posted By..." right under the Post title, as opposed to the default placement down at the bottom of the post. However, now I can't figure out how to tweak the html of that line. This is what it looks like now:



I'm not too fluent in html, but I am able enough to go through it and do some basic changes to it.

I'm looking to add some space between the "Posted By" line and the beginning of the post type. I tried to find the html spot for this, so I could add some margin or padding or something, but no luck! Can anyone tell me where this is located? Also, if so, how could I change the font color? The time is blue, as you can see. I don't know why! How do I change that?

Any assistance would be great! THANKS!

The piece of code your looking for should be this :

<span class='post-author vcard'>
<b:if cond='data:top.showAuthor'>
<data:top.authorLabel/>
<span class='fn'><data:post.author/></span>
</b:if>
</span>

As for changing the colour it will be one of the link colours in your CSS!!

Thank you!!

I found it after expanding the widget templates, and understood it JUST enough to elimate the link within the timestamp (I didn't want it there).

However, I don't know enough html to figure out how to add some space under it. I'm sure it's one simple line of code, but I am very amateur about all this... any further help would be greatly appreciated!! Here's what my html looks like (after I deleted the link code)

<div class='post-header-line-1'><span class='post-author vcard'>
<b:if cond='data:top.showAuthor'>
<data:top.authorLabel/>
<span class='fn'><data:post.author/></span>
</b:if>
</span> <span class='post-timestamp'>
<b:if cond='data:top.showTimestamp'>
<data:top.timestampLabel/>
<b:if cond='data:post.url'>
<abbr class='published' expr:title='data:post.timestampISO8601'><data:post.timestamp/></abbr>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</span> </div>

I'm sure somewhere in there I add some padding or margin(?). How to write it and where... I'm lost!

THANKS!
