Blog banner

You could create a child-theme with a custom style.css

http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

then add these lines to the style.css

.page-header {
display: none;
}

This removes the BLOG section, and the lines remaining do not look too bad.

Next, I would style the menu something like this:

#header-menu ul.menu {
  text-align: left;
  margin-left: 10px;
}

Finally, moving your blog container in with some padding-left:

.entry-container {
padding-left: 20px;
}

Once you get the child theme active, you can modify any of the styles and play around with your theme’s appearance.

Add CSS line-height to .entry-container, e.g:

.entry-container {
 padding-left: 20px;
 line-height: 1.8em;
}

It’s 1.8em by default.

Instead of applying the line height to ‘.entry-container‘ create a new style and apply it to the ‘body‘ element, e.g:

body { line-height: 1.5em; }
