 * Hi everyone,
 * I’m new to this forum and new to WordPress. I’d like to ask you a couple of things.
 * 1. How do I get rid of a big blank space located up on top of my blog header?
   The name of the blog used to be there but I don’t like it that way, so I eliminated
   it but now there’s a lot of space.
 * 2. In the name of a new page, I put a “<a href” tag so that when users click 
   on, it will take them somewhere else. Now, the problem is that, for some reason,
   now it’s like if there were two lines in the navigation bar.
 * 3. Can I change the color of the navigation bar? Now it’s like gray but would
   like to make it different.
 * My blog is the following: [http://blog.zeinter.com/](http://blog.zeinter.com/)
 * Thanks a lot.

 * 1) Remove ‘div id=”header”‘ entirely
 * 2) You don’t want to put HTML into the titles like that. In fact, you don’t want
   to make a link like that at all. Do you have a menu control panel at wp-admin-
   >Appearance->Menus?
 * 3) That is a background image, I think. I’m not 100% sure what you mean. If that
   is what you are talking about, you need to edit your stylesheet and change the`#
   navi` definition.

 * Hello,
 * Thanks a lot for your reply. I appreciate it.
 * Sorry, but I’m a beginner. Here are my new doubts.
 * 1. Do I need to modify index.php? Then, I suppose I will need to download it 
   to my pc, edit it, and then upload it, right?
 * 2. Yes, I’ve got a menu in wp-admin->Appearance->Menus, but the only option available
   there is to create a new menu. Do I need to do this?
 * 3. I meant the color of the header, which is the same as the footer. But I think
   I will keep it that way.
 * Thanks again for you help.

 * 1) I don’t know for sure if that section is in index.php. It might be but I’d
   bet on your theme’s header.php. Yes, you need to edit it. You can edit files 
   directly in WordPress but I don’t recommend it. Download the file, edit a copy(
   in case you screw up you can put the original back and try again), and put the
   file back.
 * 2) Creating a new menu might not be a bad idea. Does the page tell you that your
   theme support a menu?

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks a lot for your help again.
 * I’m gonna leave point 2 as it is. So, let’s continue with number one.
 * Inside my theme’s folder, I found a header.php file. I downloaded it and eliminated
   a tag called <div id=header> plus another one <div id=head>, including their 
   closing tags, but just eliminated half of the space on top of my top navigation
   bar.
 * Any suggestions?
 * Thanks.

 * You were asking how to remove that space weren’t you?
 * You don’t need ‘div id=”logo”‘ either, since you removed the header image.

 * _[ Moderator note: please surround code snippets with the backtick or use the
   code button. ]_
 * I deleted the div tag, and nothing happpened. Then, I deleted the contents of
   that div tag, and still shows that space.
 * This is the portion I just deleted with no resuls:
 *     ```
       <div id="logo">
       				<?php
       				$options = get_option('themezee_options');
       				if ( isset($options['themeZee_general_logo']) and $options['themeZee_general_logo'] <> "" ) { ?>
       					<a>"><img src="<?php echo esc_url($options['themeZee_general_logo']); ?>" alt="Logo" /></a>
       				<?php } else { ?>
       					<a>/"><h1><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1></a>
       				<?php } ?>
       			</div>
       ```

 * Have you cleared you browser cache? I see about half an inch of light blue above
   the dark menu/page body section. It was more than two inches the first time I
   saw it.

 * I though I could reduce more that space (the one above the dark menu). Is there
   any way to do that?
 * Another question. Is it ok all the code I deleted? I mean, what I pasted in my
   last post.
 * Thanks a lot.

 * If you aren’t using the code, you don’t need it. Its fine.
 * You shouldn’t need ‘div id=”topnavi”‘ either. Then you will need to change the
   margin on ‘div id=”wrap”‘. Open your theme’s style.css and find `#wrap` then 
   look for `margin:30px auto`. The first value, the ’30px’, is the space you want
   to remove. Change that to whatever you want. Use ‘0’ to remove it altogether 
   or change it to “5px” or whatever you think looks nice.

 * Great! I reduced the portion I was looking for! Not very much, but now it looks
   perfect, in my opinion.
 * Everything solved. You may close this issue if needed.
 * Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.
