 * So I just installed a WP premium theme onto my blog, and I am having a few issues
   that I need help with.
 * My site is [cocoadough.com](http://cocoadough.com) and as you can see I have 
   my logo already placed onto the site. I like the size of my logo but it is overlapping
   that orange section directly below it. I want to stretch the white portion of
   the header(The area with the HOME & ABOUT section) and make the height longer
   so my logo will be able to comfortably sit without overlapping the orange section
   beneath it.
 * Can someone please give me instructions on where I need to go to adjust the height
   of that section. Where would those dimensions be within the theme style sheet?
   Please let me know how I can increase the height of that white section on my 
   site (The white section where the majority of my logo sits at). Thank you and
   please be as detailed as you can with any instructions. THANK YOU!!

 * that orange stripe is generated with a horizontally repeated background image
   for `body`:
    /themes/Huex/img/orange/bg.gif
 * edit this with a graphics program, keep the same file name, and re-upload it 
   to the same location.
 * you can move the rest (the block with ‘latest articles’ etc.) down by changing
   the height (and maybe adding a `margin-top:10px;` ) in the following style in
   style.css of your theme:
 * `.header {position:relative;height:116px;margin-bottom:25px;}`
