 * Hi. I want to shrink/delete the empty space between the header and the body of
   a website using Encounters Lite.
 * This is the website: [http://www.stella-makeup.com/](http://www.stella-makeup.com/)
   
   This is a screenshot, showing the space I want to reduce.

 * Can you help me out with this?
 * Thanks

 * Go to your CSS File([http://www.stella-makeup.com/wp-content/themes/encounters-lite/style.css?ver=3.7.1](http://www.stella-makeup.com/wp-content/themes/encounters-lite/style.css?ver=3.7.1))
   on the line 200 and modify this line
 * `padding: 30px 0 50px;`
 * with this:
 * `padding: 0 0 50px;`

 * It worked, thank you. Can you also show me how to do the same thing with the 
   bottom part of the website?

 * The padding: 0 0 50px; is the space at the bottom. So the 50px would change to
   what you want it to be.
 * Basically the padding is laid out like this:
 * 0px for the top
    0px for the right and left padding 50px for the bottom padding
 * I’m hoping you are using a child theme for these modifications, or at least a
   plugin that lets you edit css ? That way, when there’s updates to this theme,
   you won’t lose your changes.
