 * Is there a way to decrease the empty space between the items/lines in the menu
   directly below the header? I’m not well versed in how to customize and would 
   appreciate help with this so my menu does not take up so much space.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmenu-spacing-under-header%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@bluesboots](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bluesboots/),
 * Go to Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS (the menu labels might be different
   in your language) and add the code below:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .blog-menu a  { padding-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 15px; }
       ```
   
 * Let me know if that does it.
