# remove empty space

 * Hi
 * I am having to much empty space in the footer. I have tried hitting all the div
   and classes I can find with CSS. Nothing makes that empty space any more empty.
   Does anybody have an idea about how to minimize that area?

 * Thanks so much in advance.

 * Hey Claus,
 * I presume by empty space you mean the height of the footer?
 * I see:
 *     ```
       #footer {
           margin-bottom: 20px;
       }
       ```
   
 * and
 *     ```
       #colophon {
           border-top: 4px solid #000000;
           margin-top: -4px;
           overflow: hidden;
           padding: 18px 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * So the margin-bottom in the 1st one can be set to zero as well as the padding
   in the 2nd one.
 * Thats a total of 56 pixels that you can reduce it by.
 * Or, I dont see any info/text in the footer at all so if you want to get rid of
   it completely you can also try:
 *     ```
       #footer {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * That should say goodbye to the whole footer.
 * I hope this helps – let me know.
