I'm using Balance.

In the post info section I deleted the date and the word 'by'.

I also deleted the footer back to top link, and all the footer credits text.

The rest was left untouched.

OK. I've now figured it out. In case there's someone else with the same problem, here's the solution:

The original .css was:

.sidebar .widget {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
margin: 0 0 30px;
padding: 0 0 30px;
}

Now I have:

.sidebar .widget {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
margin: 0 0 10px;
padding: 20px 20px 20px;
}

On my .css I've tried changing to zero just about every margin and padding I can see. Nothing seems to work. The text moves to the edges every time. Perhaps you can give me a clue as to which margin you're referring to?

Thanks.

Brian, thanks. The Simple Edits plugin did the trick, and I was also able to remove the post date. I've now restored the functions.php file to the original.

Outside? That would look ugly. What I want is what this other blog has done: http://www.janscarbrough.com/biography/

(See sidebar lines reaching the edges, rather than covering only the same area as the text because of the padding)

anitac, thanks.

Can anyone confirm whether using the Simple Edits plugin is better than doing php changes? I'm thinking long term and possible problems with upgrades. Thanks.

On my blog's sidebar there's technically only one horizontal line, which gets repeated after each section. The social media icons, for instance, have a line above and below them.

I'd like that bar to reach the edges of the white area, but I haven't found a way of doing it.

Yes, I've come across that in many posts, but you need to remove the <p> ... </p>:

/** Customize the entire footer */
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'custom_footer' );
function custom_footer() {
    ?>
    <p>&copy; Copyright 2012 <a href="http://mydomain.com/">My Domain</a> &middot; All Rights Reserved &middot; Powered by <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> &middot; <a href="http://mydomain.com/wp-admin">Admin</a></p>
    <?php
}

What you need to put on your functions.php is:

/** Customize the entire footer */
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'custom_footer' );
function custom_footer() {
    ?>
    <?php
}

I've posted this in case others want to remove that line too.

Thanks, SoZo

My blog is now looking a lot nicer.

Jen,

Thanks. I just worked out the problem and my footer is much improved.

Now I'd like to bring in the three lines at the very bottom within the dark background. Do you know how I can achieve that?

P.S.: I'm also using Firebug now

P.S.S.: I love Genesis

I'm afraid that didn't work. In fact, something weird happened. I used this other code instead:

#footer-widgets .widget a,
#footer-widgets .widget a:visited {
color: #444;
font-weight: normal;
text-decoration: none;
}

Now I have footer links in the new color and some in the old one, and the underline is still there. Any idea what's causing this?
