 * I am new to WP and only have limited knowledge on CSS.
 * I am looking to shrink the height of my header to 55px through the Jetpack CSS
   editor. I have read a bunch of threads on the topic and typed in what I think
   will work and am having no look.
 * Anybody out there that can help me out?

 * Hi there!
 * Do you want to shrink the height of the entire header element…or have you put
   an image in there you are trying to adjust?
 * If it’s the entire header try this:
 *     ```
       #branding {
         height:  55px;
       }
       ```
   
 * I hope that helps!

 * Just the header element, and that worked
 * Thanks Luke
