    I am very new to the world of WordPress, so I apologise is this question sounds obvious, prior to posting this I search a fair amount in attempt to find an answer to my problem but to be honest I wasn’t even entirely sure what I was searching for.

    My problem is:

    I would like to remove the borders/ margins (not entirely sure what they are called but for lack of a better word – the line at the top and bottom of the page) from my blog and basically make the header and footer areas smaller, vertically.

    My site can be found here: http://dysconnect.me

    Thanks in advance and apologies again is this question sounds dumb or obvious.

    All the areas you want to change are defined by styles in the theme’s default stylesheet wp-content/themes/thematic/library/styles/default.css.

    Line 95 – Remove the bottom border from the #access style
    Line 834 – Remove the top border from the #footer style
    Line 838 – Adjust the padding on the #siteinfo style, this makes up your footers height(mostly)
    Line 65 – Again adjust padding on the #branding style, this makes up your headers height(mostly)

    If the theme provides a facility for entering CSS(like an option field of some kind), then it’s probably a good idea to put some CSS over-rides into that field instead of adjusting the stylesheet, which will avoid your CSS changes getting lost if the theme is updated. Honestly though, i’m not familiar with that theme, so i can’t really comment on the most ideal place to make the changes(might be worth consulting the theme’s FAQ/Docs).
