 * I am trying to change the size of the header image location height. see [link
   redacted]. There is too much space between the logo and the menu. I have looked
   at the css styles for hours but can’t figure out how to reduce this height space.

 * The header width and height are defined in the theme’s functions.php file:
 *     ```
       define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH', apply_filters( 'twentyten_header_image_width', 940 ) );
           define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT', apply_filters( 'twentyten_header_image_height', 198 ) );
       ```
   
 * Ideally, you should create a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   and use something like:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'twentyten_header_image_height', 'my_header_height' );
       function my_header_height($height) {
           $height = 100;
           return $height;
       }
       ```
   
 * in the child’s functions.php file to redefine the header height.

 * Wow thank you so much, I have spent hours tryng to figure out how to change this
   and the title tag “Action Pest Control Log” This line takes up too much space
   in the height. How do I change the height for this area? Thanks again 🙂

 * Edit style.css:
 *     ```
       #wrapper {
       background:#fff;
       margin-top:20px;
       padding:0 20px;
       }
       ```
   
 * and remove `margin-top:20px;`.
