# minimising header

 * Hi,
    I’m slowly getting to grips with the Hueman theme and wordpress in general.
   The theme does pretty much what I want with some plugs ins. So far so good. However,
   I’m keen to minimise the amount of screen taken up by the big bar at the head
   where the logo goes – nearly 50% of the screen. I’d rather visitors saw maximum
   amount of content. Is it possible and if so can someone steer a newbie to where
   he can adjust? Many thanks for taking time out to read this and extra if you 
   can help or advise. Cheers,
 * Ian

 * Hi ianbond. Seems odd that the header would be taking 50% of the screen. Can 
   you post a link to your site so we can have a look? Thanks.

 * Hello bd,
    Thanks for your interest. The link to my project is below. Let me 
   get my excuses for the beta site in early – just enough content to figure out
   side bars, searches, catagory sorting etc. But, as you can see the great blue
   header bar covering if not 50% then close to 40%. Dearly love to minimise this.

 * If you’re talking about the space above and below the header image, you could
   use this in a child theme style.css file, or use a plugin like [Simple Custom CSS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/):
 *     ```
       #header .pad {
         padding-top: 0;
         padding-bottom: 0;
       }
       ```

 * Great, thanks. I’ll give that a go. Begining learning curve on child themes and
   css!
