I've done a tutorial where you learned a little bit about tables in a post (Mixed Content Side by Side or Tables). But, now, let's talk about coding for your free text or blurb on your sidebar. See it is very different and works a little like your profile. Here is the dilemma we are presented with this image on the right. What I don't want my sidebar to do:

1. There is a gap at the top of my sidebar


2. Looks like there more than one line of a gap between my text and my textbox.


3. All my book images are on a different line


4. There is a HUGE gap between my book images and my table.

How do we fix this? First, when you see extra spacing on the sidebar, always check the blurb text coding first because sometimes it is just the coding in that section.
