    The bluish "CTA" widget box has three lines of text in it. They're awfully low, and although I can change a lot of things about that text, I can't push it up a line or so. Suggestions? Thanks! - Jon

    Can you paste in exactly what's in that text widget? I can't figure out what's pushing it down.

    Thanks! I will preface this by saying that the "positioning:fixed", versus relative, versus nothing at all, had no apparent impact, nor did the "top". (I added that last bit in just now in an attempt to make it work.) Sorry, I know it looks kinda rough.

    <center><div class="one-fourth first"><img valign="center" height="150" width="150" alt="LifeCore Yoga, North Oaks MN, 612-986-7216" src="http://lifecoreyoga.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/LCY-circle.png" /></div>
    <div class="three-fourths"><strong><span style="font-color:#ffffff; font-size:20px;text-align:center;positioning:relative;top:-50px"><br /><br />We offer one free week of yoga to local residents.<br />
    No strings or commitments...<br />
    Just an opportunity to try our studio.</span></div></strong>
    </center>

    The "positioning" is throwing an error because that isn't a valid CSS indicator; you would need to use "position" instead. However, that won't affect the text either way so you could likely remove it.

    Try this after the one fourth </div> to see if it makes any difference:

    <div class="three-fourths"><p>We offer one free week of yoga to local residents.</p>
    <p>No strings or commitments...</p>
    <p>Just an opportunity to try our studio.</p></div></center>
