 * I have excess “white space” in my header and I’d like to remove it.

 * I want to reduce the amount of space between the banner and the advertisement
   above it. I’d appreciate any help. Thanks!

 * Hey Ash,
 * You can either get a child theme or you can download a custom CSS editor to do
   this. The one that I have been using is [Simple custom CSS](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/).
 * Then once that is installed copy and paste this code and bada bing bada boom 
   done :-).
 *     ```
       .site-header {
         padding-top:0;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps,
    Aaron.

 * I have a CSS editor I just don’t know what to edit or what new code to put in
   there.

 * Try using Firefox with the [Firebug add-on](http://getfirebug.com/) for this 
   kind of CSS troubleshooting. Or use whatever developer tool is available in your
   web browser.
