 * I have the Sydney theme.
    I am trying to fix an issue with the top of my sidebar.
   There is no space between the edge of the top widget and the edge. There should
   be some colored (light green) portion of the sidebar background showing above
   the top widget and there isn’t.
 * I am very new to all of this, so excuse the layman’s terms if there are any.
 * I am using the sydney theme. And I cannot find the verson of wordpress I am using.
 * Here is a link to the blog page I am working on where my sidebar doesn’t look
   right.
