   I would like to decrease the size of the space between the header and the content below it on http://www.gizmostash.com it is driving me nuts.

   Currently it seems overly large on the home page, and all of the other pages. I a running wordpress 3.2.1 and I have found another thread with instructions on some line of text to edit in style.css, however I could not find any related text in my file.
   The thread was:
   http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/edit-space-between-title-and-header-with-css
   Is there an easy way to reduce this space? Can anyone quote me the text which has the corect padding or margin to edit?
   All help would be appreciated

   Modify in the Graphene stylesheet:

   #content {
   	background: #e3e3e3;
   	padding-top: 21px;
   	padding-bottom: 20px;
   }

   so that padding-top is a smaller number or 0 like this:

   #content {
   	background: #e3e3e3;
   	padding-top: 1px;
   	padding-bottom: 20px;
   }

   You could also mod:

   .menu-bottom-shadow{
   	background: url(images/sprite_h.png) left top repeat-x #eee;
   	height: 3px;
   	width: 100%;
   }

   and remove the background image and set height to 1px:

   .menu-bottom-shadow{
   	height: 1px;
   	width: 100%;
   }

   Hey, thanks for the help, but when I did that all it did was remove the grey box under the header, however the space still remains and is still far too large. Any Suggestions?

   Sure, I noticed that also, but was not sure if in some content the space was needed?

   change:

   .post {
   < ====lines removed here for clarity, leave above lines =====>
   	padding: 25px 15px 20px 70px;  <===change 25px to be less
   	position: relative;
   	width: 875px;

   Review this carefully on any multi-post pages also.
