    I have some social network icons in my header widget area, and I can't figure out how to lower them, without effecting the rest of the header. I simply want the icons to rest slightly above the navigation, but as is, they're aligned to the top of my header image. I want to move the social icons down, while not disrupting the layout of the header image, spacing, etc. Any ideas on how to achieve this?

    Are you familiar with "negative margin"? That may lower the text widget.

    Search WWW and/or this forum.

    Change the block to below: (Remove the padding, then you can add the extra space via the margin-top). 33px was the maximum I could move it without affecting your header. You'll want to double check how this appears on mobile and make the appropriate adjustments.

    .header-image .site-header .widget-area {
         margin-top: 33px;
    }
