Arg. I hate asking what are probably stupid questions.

I want more space around some of my text blocks (particularly the center block on the front page - I've created a custom block with simple html. In regular web page coding, I would use cellpadding to control this. I thought I had found the place to do that in my theme.html I'm using the dana-soft theme), in the loop for the center blocks, I increased the cellpadding, but it didn't affect my text at all. I then played with the cellpadding at several other levels in the theme file, and it's not affecting my displayed page at all. Am I editing the wrong file (e.g. where does XOOPS go for cellpadding 'master control'), or am I just dumb and missing where to do it? Sorry, I'm not much of a coder, but I'm trying hard

Never mind, answered my own dumb question. CSS owns cellpadding master control, at least in this theme. Thanks for reading ;o)!

Delete the files in templates_c, and your changes should work.
