how to create line breaks under header?

Hi, I am having trouble with creating some space between my header image and the blog posts and sidebar. I am using the minimalist theme.
here is my site…
http://littlestgroup.co.uk/littlestwordpress/

as you can see, i have managed to insert some text below my header, but this text is sitting directly on top of where the posts and sidebar begin. I am presuming that inserting a few line-breaks after the text below my header image?

here is my header.php code…

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>

<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” <?php language_attributes(); ?>>

<head profile=”http://gmpg.org/xfn/11″>

<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”<?php bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />

<title><?php bloginfo(‘name’);

if ( is_single() ) {

_e(‘» Blog Archive’, ‘minimalism’);

}

wp_title(); ?></title>

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />

<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”<?php printf(__(‘%s RSS Feed’, ‘minimalism’), get_bloginfo(‘name’)); ?>” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” />

<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/atom+xml” title=”<?php printf(__(‘%s Atom Feed’, ‘minimalism’), get_bloginfo(‘name’)); ?>” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘atom_url’); ?>” />

<link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>” />

<?php wp_head(); ?>

</head>

<body>

<div id=”page”>

<div id=”header” onclick=”location.href=’http://littlestgroup.co.uk/littlestwordpress//’;” style=”cursor: pointer;”>

<div id=”headerimg”>

<h1>/”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1>

<div class=”description”><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></div>

</div>

<div id=”headerText”><center><B>MANAGEMENT / PRESS / TOURING</B>

Littlest Group is an artist management, press and tour management company etc etc etc…</center>

</div>

</div>

<hr />

many thanks in advance

nic.

Putting width: 100%; float: left; height: 50px; on div#headerText straightens out the overlap, if I understand you right. You can do this whole thing in CSS and lose the <b> tag and the <center> tag, by the way.

You’ve also got a few errors to clean up.

Hi there,

Im trying to create a space between my header and where the blog posts and sidebar start. As you can see, the text “test text, why is it here?!??!!?!” is interupting the space I want to keep free. I would like to put some text in below the company logo and by doing this i presume the rest of the contents of the blog will ‘move down’ accordingly.
http://littlestgroup.co.uk/littlestwordpress/

If this makes any better sense then before (i hope so, im tearing my hair out here!) and what you suggested still applies, do you mean paste
:

width: 100%; float: left; height: 50px;

like as i have added below? sorry, i am complete novice and its probably something really silly ive done wrong!

<body>

<div id=”page”>

<div id=”header” onclick=”location.href=’http://littlestgroup.co.uk/littlestwordpress//’;” style=”cursor: pointer;”>

<div id=”headerimg”>

<h1>/”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1>

<div class=”description”><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></div>

</div>

<div id=”headerText” width: 100%; float: left; height: 50px;><center><b>Littlest Group prides itself in developing artists from a grass roots level across management, press & live touring.</>

test text, why is it here?!??!!?! </center>
</div>

</div>

If you do it inline you’d need to do it like this:

<div id="headerText" style="width: 100%; float: left; height: 50px;" >

But you could add it to your theme’s style.php by adding this:
```
div#headerText {
width: 100%;
float: left;
height: 50px;
}
```
The height value I guessed at. You can adjust it if you want. You should be able to do the whole thing with CSS by adding this to your stylesheet:
```
div#headerText {
width: 100%;
float: left;
height: 50px;
text-align:center;
font-weight:bold
}
```
And then delete the <b> and the <center> opening and closing tags. Once you eliminate those tags you might not even need all of the CSS. The float or the height might become unnecessary.
