 * Hello everybody,
 * I’m new to self-hosted WP and after installing and customizing Everly Lite theme,
   I meddled with the CSS in the WP admin backend (yeah, yeah, I know…) and tried
   to get it back to how it was 5 minutes ago.. I’ve got several problems:
 * a) In an attempt to remove the white space above header, I removed the white 
   space above category, archive and tag pages. Sites seem unharmed. I want that
   space back! 🙁
 * b) After changing the header image bc I couldn’t find a way to remove the white
   space I tried to pull up the menu bar a bit higher so it would close up nicely
   to the header image. No success. All I did was ruining the scroll menu’s child
   items (the spacing between a menu item and its child).
 * c) I tried to change the color the links change into (and, additionally, the 
   color at hover of the social icons at the top of the page), to no success.
 * d) Moving the sidebar up a bit so it would fit perfectly to the site next to 
   it.
 * e) Defining a pattern background image?! All attempts failed.
 * So, that’s a lot of problems, and I hope it’s not too much to ask of you guys.
   I know I’m wrong to directly meddle with the code backend, but I’m preparing 
   the move of my blog and I would like to finish it sooner than later, so I’ve 
   got no time for fancy editing tools. Turns out that way of thinking brought me
   to my problems. Anyhoo, thanks in advance for any advice! I’d happily post my(
   messy) CSS code if needed, just tell me what kind of data you need.

 * Hello Killomonotony,
    No worries it happen sometimes. If I’m not wrong this css
   code might be helpful to make your block (after menu) manageable. Try this,
 * .block1{
    padding-top:40px; } If not try this, .block1{ padding-top:40px !important;}
   Hope it will be helpful to you. All the best!

 * If I’m not wrong. Problem is in your logo(books image) for those white space 
   above the menu. Try this in css,
    #logo{ margin: 0px; } It’s not good to include
   height in class, you should manage from image but this time, I think you are 
   in hurry so, you can do this, .logo-sidebar{ height:250px; }

 * Thanks for your efforts, but that did exactly nothing. :/ My CSS seems pretty
   unresponsive.. 🙁
