   Hello,

   I recently switched from wordpress.com to Bluehost hosting. I installed WordPress on the server using simplescripts. Today I noticed something strange, whenever I change my Blog Tagline under General Settings it shrinks my header (by height, not width). This also happens whenever I try and take out the code in the banner.php file to remove the blog description from the header. So its like anytime I try and remove the blog description from the header it removes it, but shrinks my header! Any ideas on how I can stop/fix this?

   Help is greatly appreciated!

   Thanks.

   can you post a link to your site?

   css adjustments are best done on a live site, using tools such as firebug.

   Here is the temporary URL I am using until I get my main domain DNS servers changed: http://69.89.31.103/~clubpen7/

   adding a width: 97%; to this style in style.css of your theme seems to help:

   #banner .logo {
   	float: left;
   	margin: 15px 0 15px 15px;
   	height: 64px;
   width:97%;
   }

   this div kind-of pushes the 'about-tweet' block down, and together they make the banner height; if the description is very short, this div is not wide enough and the banner shrinks; by formatting the div with a fixed width, this is avoided.

   only checked in firefox;
   as css issues can be quite browser dependant, try to check this in as many browsers a s possible.
