    Good day,

    I am using the Circo Theme, my website is: http://www.marketingbymara.com

    I would like to know how to get the top margin of the left sidebar to be smaller. At the moment, when I load the page the newsletter subscription text is too low down and isn’t immediately visible – I would like it to be much closer to the top of the sidebar.

    It would be great if I could to this for the main content box to- so that it is balanced.

    Thanks!

    Open you style.css file and look around line 308 for the following:

    .leftsidebar {
  margin-top:10px;
  padding:20px;
}

    Try changing it to this:

    .leftsidebar {
  /* margin-top:10px; */
  padding:0 20px;
}

    See how that looks …

    If you want it even higher than you can change

    .container_16 .grid_5 {
width:280px;
}

    to 

    .container_16 .grid_5 {
margin-top:-30px;
width:280px;
}

    Thanks for the help Edward. It did move it up- would it be possible to move it up a little more?

    Also, I would like to change the main content box to be the same?

    Try changing to this (from above):

    .leftsidebar {
  margin-top:-25px;
  padding:0 20px;
}

    … and, around line 254 in style.css:

    .middle_content {
  margin:-25px 0 0;
  padding:20px 30px 20px 20px;
}

    See how that looks … the controlling property is ‘margin’ for this example.
