Two alignment questions

  • Hi folks,

    A little less of a newbie now. I installed and have been playing for three days. Likely had 60 questions along the way, but the resources here are so good I just had to search for answers. But have two I could not find or the suggested fixes have not worked for me.
    1. 3.4.1 and Twenty Eleven. Sidebar images have a lot of padding below them. I would like to change that, but all of the obvious places in the style sheet do not have an effect. What can I change to have that distance?

    2. I want to put a search in the header. Eventually, the Google search, but for now the standard to get it placed upper right. I think maybe the reason that no solutions worked for me is that my header is a full sized image? Can I get around that?

    Site is a work in progress and not live. Just starting to populate, play, learn, then choose a theme. But its here so you can see:

    Thanks.

  • 1. Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues. First create a child theme for your changes.

    2. See (1).

    I read that here waaay too late. I figure at some time I will discover how to create a child, download a fresh copy of WP and compare files to populate the child properly. But waaay too far gone for that right now.

    No suggestions for how to eliminate the space between the photo and signature on the sidebar? Would be appreciated.

    And I have a new question Is it acceptable to add to this post or should I start another topic?

    After that, I am likely ready to go choose a custom theme and tweak then go live.

    Thanks.
