Remove Header Padding Issue

That space is where the menu bar goes — though you do not have one. Are you planning to have any kind of menu bar? If not, you can change the margins in the below CSS to zero, and it will get rid of that space.

This is on line 465 of style.css — just change to margin: 0;

#menubar {
    float: left;
    margin: 27px 20px 0 30px;
    position: relative;
    width: 700px;
    z-index: 99;
}

Just noticed one other thing — you can also make the padding in this code to zero too:

#header2 {
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding-bottom: 15px;
    width: 964px;
}

You are my hero! This was making me crazy!! If I do wind up adding a drop-down menu, would I still be able to keep the padding at 0? It looks so much better now. Also, how would I go about adding a drop-down menu if I decided to add one?

See the Codex on Menus. There is a menu section under appearance in the dashboard. If you add a menu, change the margins and padding back to what they were — or adjust to your liking.

Thank you so much! WordPress and CSS is overwhelming for newbies like me ??
