[personal profile] kehleyr posting in [community profile] style_system
So I've just changed my header and noticed that I have a little too big of empty space between my bar of "Recent entries, Archive, Reading, Network etc" and the title of my journal "Receded into her own glittering mist"... and I wonder if you can help me out to where to change it and to what :-). Behind the cut is my CSS coding... Thank you for any help you can give me.

Looks like it's the padding-top on #canvas. If you put this into your Custom CSS (or alter the padding value already there), it should fix the problem:

#canvas { padding-top: 600px;}

At the moment the padding is 900. 600 is about right on my monitor, but you might need to play with it a little to get just the spacing you want.
