Dear Elli,
thanks for your remark. However, the CSS is from a standard template and
it works in the pages where only a single article is shown, e.g.
http://run-united.com/?page_id=489. If you look at the html structure
and the css there, the #content div still has this big margin, but
neverthless it works.
I will follow the suggestion of Jukka and validate the code (something
I'd rather do for my own html/css, cause I can imagine that there could
be many errors in this Worpress code, but I'll try).
Best regards
Christian
