CSS: reducing line spacing of text?

html wordpress css pagelines

Inline elements don't honour properties such as line-height; they take on the line height of the nearest block parent.

Solution: remove the line-height from the body, or turn the span into a block (i.e. make it a div; don't give display:block to the span).

Add display:block & remove height.

<span style="font-size: 75%; line-height: 16px; display:block">blog posts & occasional updates (updates max 1 every 14 days)</span>
