 * Hi folks,
 * A little less of a newbie now. I installed and have been playing for three days.
   Likely had 60 questions along the way, but the resources here are so good I just
   had to search for answers. But have two I could not find or the suggested fixes
   have not worked for me.
    1. 3.4.1 and Twenty Eleven. Sidebar images have a lot
   of padding below them. I would like to change that, but all of the obvious places
   in the style sheet do not have an effect. What can I change to have that distance?
 * 2. I want to put a search in the header. Eventually, the Google search, but for
   now the standard to get it placed upper right. I think maybe the reason that 
   no solutions worked for me is that my header is a full sized image? Can I get
   around that?
 * Site is a work in progress and not live. Just starting to populate, play, learn,
   then choose a theme. But its here so you can see:

 * 1. Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress theme and
   having access to an **unedited** version of the theme is vital when dealing with
   a range of site issues. First [create a child theme for your changes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).
 * 2. See (1).

 * I read that here waaay too late. I figure at some time I will discover how to
   create a child, download a fresh copy of WP and compare files to populate the
   child properly. But waaay too far gone for that right now.

 * No suggestions for how to eliminate the space between the photo and signature
   on the sidebar? Would be appreciated.
 * And I have a new question Is it acceptable to add to this post or should I start
   another topic?
 * After that, I am likely ready to go choose a custom theme and tweak then go live.
 * Thanks.
