The culprit is this part of the inline stylesheet in your template:

description {

margin: 7em 7em; max-width:400px; font-size:120%; line-height:1.8 em; letter-spacing:.1em; color:#789; }

You want to go to your template, find this section in the <style>…</style> structure up at the head of the template, and change the first of the two measures under the “margin:” property (the size of the top and bottom margins) to something smaller. E.G.:

description {

margin: 2em 7em; max-width:400px; font-size:120%; line-height:1.8 em; letter-spacing:.1em; color:#789; }

At least, I think that should do it. Does that work?
