 * You will probably need to start customising your theme’s CSS – possibly via a
   [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes). Try using Firefox with
   the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS work.

 * Look at the margins here:
 *     ```
       #site-description {
           color: #7A7A7A;
           font-size: 14px;
           margin: 0 270px 3.65625em 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * You’ll need to add the above selector and margin style — modified to your child
   theme stylesheet.

 * I have added the code in the style.css in my child theme but It did not work.
   Please suggest again.

 * There is no code like the above in your child theme stylesheet. Where did you
   add it?
 * If you have any caches, be sure to clear them.

 * Hi WPyogi. I am sorry to post the previous reply. However after changing the 
   value 3.65625em into 1.65625em it worked. Finally thanking you for helping.

 * You have this:
 *     ```
       #site-description { color: #FF8C00; }
       ```
   
 * so try changing that to this:
 *     ```
       #site-description {
           color: #FF8C00;
           margin-bottom: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * EDIT — we cross posted — no problem and glad you got it working!

 * Thanks for help. However I see wide space in the left site both in the header
   and in main body section how can I do it into zero? Any help will be very appreciated.

 * You’ll need to look at the margins for both of those sections of the page (likely
   here: `.left-sidebar #secondary` and `#branding hgroup`). As esmi suggested, 
   the **best way to work with CSS is by using Firebug** — it will show you the 
   CSS that is affecting a specific area or element on a page. The firebug site 
   has good documentation about how to use it. Learning basic CSS is not hard — 
   just takes some practice. This is also a very good CSS reference:

 * Yes I will follow firebug. Thanks for reference. However I could not solve extra
   space from left and right site both from left and right.
