 * Hi, I am having a little problem. I have all my blog on this page: [http://seen2help.co.uk/category/blog/](http://seen2help.co.uk/category/blog/)
 * I have recent post widget on the right hand side, unfortunately it is very much
   to top in the grey area. I am a little bit confused of how to resolve this issue.
 * I would like to move the widget to down a bit or remove the whole grey area. 
   Please can anyone help me of what needs to be changed?
 * Thanks for your help

 * You need to have a child theme, [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   
   and in the style sheet there add .widget {margin-top: 80px;}

 * See the link above. You need to add a child theme which will have a style sheet
   style.css and then add the css to that. It will over-ride the themes css.

 * The reason you use child themes is that when your theme is updated any changes
   you make to the themes css will be over-written. That won’t happen to the child
   theme.
