Help getting rid of blank space?

I'm trying to get rid of the white space in b/t the top header and the logowrapper.

it looks like this now.

I want it to look like this.

Any clues?

Re: Help getting rid of blank space?

It looks like a template issue. Can you find, in the template you are using, the settings for the red bar and the settings for the gray bar?

If they show a percentage like 95%, does changing to 100% fix anything?

Most importantly look at margins and padding - If they say anything other than 0em then you'll have space showing. I think you'll find it by opening the stylesheet file and searching for header wrapper, but I'm not sure about that. I just remember that when I started I found a theme close to what I liked, installed it, and then took the stylesheets and made changes to each setting one at a time - checking the site after each one to see what changed, writing down what colors showed with each change to the colors on the sheet etc.

Good Luck!

Re: Help getting rid of blank space?

Ok, so I edited this code on the stylesheet, and it seems to work, I'm just not sure if it is going to break something else I am missing. Any ideas?

That shouldn't break anything.

The best way to learn is to try stuff. But, back it up first.

Editing the stylesheet won't break anything. Put in the wrong number and it will change your black letters to day-glo orange, or your font from size 10 Helvetica to 3" high flashing gothic. So you just undo your change and try a different number. As long as you've got the original stylesheet to fall back on, you can't go wrong.
