 * How do I add a space between the navigation menu and the header? I looked in 
   Firebug and I am able to add that space in Firebug….but in my Custom Child theme
   CSS, it’s just not working.
 * Already tried:
 * #access {
    margin-top: 20px; }
 * But not working…..

 * Can you please post a link to your site? It makes it easier to see what might
   be wrong. Thanks.

 * Err, solved.
 * Apparently the culprit is a plugin called SEO Data Transporter. It seems to overrule
   my CSS rules in my Child Theme, LOL. After deactivating it, the CSS code above
   works.
 * All these weird quirks…..
 * But I must add that on mobile, my theme doesn’t show any gap, only on desktop.
   Because once the screen gets resized smaller, the gap between header and menu
   also disappears.
 * Now, how to make that gap permanent on mobile? That’s the question 🙂
 * PS: For those wondering how come my theme is responsive, go download the plugin(
   and keep it alive) called Responsive Twenty Ten. Heck, even Twenty Ten needs 
   to be updated and kept alive by the WordPress team. Such a beautiful and robust
   theme….
