Ok. Thanks again for the help.

I tried putting this code, which I found from a tutorial somewhere online, directly into my style.css file. I don’t know how to read code so I’m kind of working in the dark.

I pasted this into the style.css file of my child theme, with no other formatting at all. I literally just pasted it under the @import command for the style.css template:

.left-sidebar.singular #content {
top: -4em;
}
and
.left-sidebar #content {
top: -4em;
}
and
.one-column #content {
top: -4em;
}

It didnt even change the look of the site at all. In fact all of the code everyone this thread has provided have made no visible difference at all to the layout of the site. Am I doing something wrong? Have I mised some syntax somwhere?
Thanks again.

I added this so this is all that is included in my style.css:

/*
Theme Name: TwentyElevenChildThemeAlex
Description: Child theme I'm working on to decrease header size
Template: twentyeleven
*/

@import url("../twentyeleven/style.css");}

.singular.page .hentry {
   padding: 0;
   margin: 0;
}

Is this the proper format for the CSS code? It still isnt working.

When I meant header, I actually meant removing some of the white space around the title of the site.
Although I do also want to remove the page title which says “home” in big letters on the static home page.
Where would I find .hentry? Do I find it by editing the twenty eleven parent theme files?
Sorry, I’m just new to all this.

I did both those things and the child theme now works.
Thankyou very much!!
