    I'm not a total beginner but close. My question is how to reduce the vertical space above and below the header in the sample theme. Same for the main navigation bar just below the header, as well as the space just below the navigation bar to the point where the main content begins. I figure for my purposes it would look a little better to take a good chunk of the blank space away.

    Apologies if this has been answered already. I did search but couldn't find. If it has been addressed please let me know where.

    Many thanks, Steph

    Remove the padding from the .site-header .wrap, .title-area, and .site-inner classes.

    Change min-height: 160px; to min-height: 100px; in the .site-header class.

    Thanks very much Victor. That worked well. I'm now hoping to reduce the height of the main navigation bar/menu and reduce the space between the navigation bar/menu and main content. Any suggestions to try out for that?

    Thanks again, Steph
