how do you make the words in the entries sort of squashed together (sorry, can't think of a technical term to describe it) ..like where it says ....my mother always told me never take chances... in this xanga

you gotta put "line-height:#px;" in your css under "p {", i.e.:

<style type="css/text">
p {
font-family: arial;
font-size: 8pt;
line-height:#px;
}
</style>

...replace # with whatever height you want
