Hi Everyone,

I can’t believe I have to ask this, IT’S THAT EASY! But I can’t figure it out…

I have an h1 tag that opens and closes, then an h3 tag that opens and closes… I want them on different lines, but the distance between them is ridiculous… this is the CSS…

```auto

body {
    background: url(images/bg.gif) repeat-x #FFFFFF;
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color: #5EB9FF;
    margin: 0 20px 20px 20px;
    height: 100%;
}

/* header */

h1 {
    font-size: 36px;
    font-weight: bold;
}

h3 {
    font-size: 14px;
}

```

I know this is easy, but I haven’t done this stuff in so long I am confused 😛

Thanks,

–D
