   New to modifying themes, and I want to start easy:

   I'm creating a child version of twentyeleven.

   I don't want the text on top, so I only see the header image. (see image)

   But now the search bar buts up against the menu items (red arrow). I've found where I can modify header.php to remove the two
   <?php get_search_form(); ?>
   lines, and that's great and everything, except that the menu is still squashed over to the left.

   What I want is the menu to spread the whole width of the black bar, and no search bar.

   I must be missing something in style.css.

   Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of work.

   Aha! Instead of just removing the get_search_form() lines, I removed that whole block of code and presto! No search bar. (The site really doesn't need it.)

   And thanks, esmi, I have updated my firefox installation and added firebug. I didn't need it to solve this particular problem, I'm going to give it a go.
