# Plugin: Custom Widget Area

 * Hello,
 * I installed the Custom Widget Area plugin so that I could have a logo image overlap
   the header into the navigation bar / content area of my site. Here is the info
   on the plugin:
 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-widget-area/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-widget-area/)
 * I got it installed and copied and pasted the following code (as suggested by 
   the install directions):
 * if (!function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘Header Widget Area’)):
 * endif;
 * into the header.php file of my site. The widget area does show up and I put the
   logo image in it, and it does overlap the navigation and content areas as I want
   it to. The problem I am having is trying to get the top of the custom widget 
   area to move up so that it renders at the top of the header area, instead of 
   starting smack dab in the middle of it. Please see my site that I am working 
   on to understand what I mean:
 * [http://dev.durangorollergirls.com](http://dev.durangorollergirls.com)
 * You can see the logo is oddly placed right in the middle of the header. How do
   I get it to move up so that it starts at the same place the header starts up 
   top? I have tried using css to position it, but I think I don’t know what the
   name of this area (or div?) really is, so it is’t moving it around.
 * Sorry if this is a dumb question, any help is appreciated.
 * Thanks!
