I just grabbed this theme and started working with it. I’m already having some issues with working on the header.php file, but that’s probably going to work itself out. I usually can play with space b/w the header and body containers in the css.php file – that’s where the padding, margins etc for each container are. I just fiddle with them till I get what I want – then check in different browsers to make sure I didn’t explode anything. I always back up the page in notebook first.
BTW if this is really obvious and you tried it – sorry for being an annoyingly ‘entry level’ pedant – I hardly ever give any advice like this.
I looked at you site and it’s very cool. I’ll have to look around more.
good luck with the space thing.
Brielle.
