Thank you!  That worked like a charm!

Brad, you're a boss.

Thank you so very much for your kind assistance!

Brad, thank you again!  Your suggestion has almost completely solved the problem.  🙂

After deleting the "padding: 60px 0;" only a small white sliver of space remains.

I am continuing to work to find ways to remove the final remaining white sliver of space.

I have installed firebug and am attempting to learn how to make use of it as we speak.

In the mean time, does anyone have any direct suggestions as to how I might go about removing the white blank spaces between my rotating featured images on the home page and the header above?

Many thanks,

Brad, thank you very much for that.  🙂

I've done as you suggested, and the improvement is great!  But unfortunately there's still a large gap between the image and the headline above (also a gap below the images) that I can't seem to remove.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

UPDATE:  Modest Success!

However I'm still trying to figure out how to set up the slider settings in order to remove this thin grey line framing the images so that the images will fill the entirety of the space as in the static image on the demo site ... any suggestions appreciated!

Additionally, I have set up the Genesis Responsive Slider but asking it to display "pages", and creating two separate pages each solely containing an image I would like to display.  Then I instructed the slider to "Include by page ID" and added the two pages' page ID's.

Still no luck getting anything at all to display in that space originally occupied by the featured image.

I should add that since the original post I have attempted to solves this problem following the advice listed here:

http://www.carriedils.com/add-slider-minimum-theme/2293

Based on her instructions I have altered the functions.php files in the editor which originally read like this:
/** Add the featured image section */
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'minimum_featured_image' );
function minimum_featured_image() {
            if ( is_home() ) {
                        echo '<div id="featured-image"><img src="'. get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/sample.jpg" /></div>';
            }
            elseif ( is_singular( array( 'post', 'page' ) ) && has_post_thumbnail() ){
                        echo '<div id="featured-image">';
                        echo get_the_post_thumbnail($thumbnail->ID, 'header');
                        echo '</div>';
            }
}
to this:
/** Add the featured image section */
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'minimum_featured_image' );
function minimum_featured_image() {
if ( is_front_page() ) {
echo '<div id="featured-image"><img src="'. get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/sample.jpg" /></div>';
}
elseif ( is_singular( array( 'post', 'page' ) ) && has_post_thumbnail() ){
echo '<div id="home-featured"><div class="wrap">';
genesis_widget_area( 'home-slider', array( 'before' => '<div class="home-slider widget-area">', ) );
echo '</div></div>';
}
}
Now I am attempting to configure the Genesis Responsive Slider to display the images I want to show without much luck.
Any suggestions would be much obliged.
Best,
-Grady
