Hi there- I am playing with article styles and I have made customizations. The one thing I cannot figure out is how to reduce the padding between articles/blocks and components. Can someone help me?

Hi Liz!

You might want to look at Margins not padding. Top and Bottom margins for each.

Let me know if you need more than that!
