 * I am a newbie using twentyten and would like to reduce the space between the 
   top of my browser and the header. I don’t use the Site Title or Tagline and have
   been trying to find out how to reduce the inch or more from above the header.
   I have not modified twentyten and the code I am looking at is pasted below:
    /*
   The main theme structure */ #access .menu-header, div.menu, #colophon, #branding,#
   main, #wrapper { margin: 0 auto; width: 940px; } #wrapper { background: #fff;
   margin-top: 20px; padding: 0 20px; }
 * If someone can tell me how to make a change that will fix this I can create a
   child theme and do so.

 * Did you try removing the margin-top line? And/or the padding line below it? Do
   one or the other, not both at the same time. That way you know which one fixed
   it.
