In style.css I define:

p{
margin-bottom:200px;
}

that increase the paragraph's space, can.

p{
margin-bottom:5px;
}

that decrease the paragraph's space, cant.

But I want to decrease the paragraph's space? how to do that? thanks!

What do you mean by space? The space above the paragraph? below a pragraph? between paragraphs? the space between the lines of a paragraph? all around a paragraph? the space on the left and right sides of a paragraph? the space between the words of a paragraph?

Please be more specific and if you can, give us a link so that we can see what you're talkinga about. It will be much easier for us to help you.

margin-bottom : xxx
should work

BUT if you have e.g.

p {
....
}
and later

p.class {
...
}

then the last one will change all above values, if set

same to a single .class used for a p
...

for real help you should post a link to your site or .css

...sorry saw the link to your site right now, if you can pls tell us which p in your html-code you mean, after that it should be possible to track the .css rules from bluemarine.css and drupal.css

the order of

p {}

and

p.class

will make no difference as the class will always carry more weight then the element.

all things being equal

p{}

will be over written by a later

p{}

but

p.class {}

will not be over written by by a later

p{}

tag is less then a class which is less then a id which is less then an inline style unless any of the above is declaried !important. I think.

Margins don't add to each other, Two paragraphs with margin:20px 0; will not have 40px between them it will stay at 20px.

Eric Meyer explains it really well but I get confused.

P have a default margin. So, you need define the margin-top as well.
