    The site in question: https://www.maxtannone.com

    WordPress version: 3.0.1
    Theme: Twenty Ten

    If you compare the BLOG page with any of the ABOUT / PROJECTS / or CONTACT/BOOKING pages, you can see a line of space between the bottom of the header and the top of the navigation menu.

    I have dug through my style.css and adjusted everything, checking to see if it has had any effect. I’m not sure what I’m missing here.

    I previously adjusted my margin in he #access area of the style sheet, which allowed to elimate the problem by making the margin like -9 pixels, but this caused an inconsistency in the thickness of the navigation menu between the BLOG/HOME page and the static non-blog pages, so I changed it back and left it.

    Helllllppp!

  • Hi Minty,

    Are you familiar with firebug? If not, try it out! It’s a great way to find out what html your wordpress files are producing on a specific page, and what styles are in effect in a particular part of your page.

    Something different is happening with your styles on the blog page, compared with the other pages of the site. I noticed this line in the css:

    #content {
    margin: 0 280px 0 17px; /*moves the content, ie writing in blog post, only on BLOG page etc.

    which looks suggestive.

    If you can get all the pages to look the same, then you can tweak the banner and the nav to get them the way you want them.

    I have never worked with 2010. From what I saw of it in your site, my first idea would be to work with a different theme, something simpler.

    thanks number cruncher, i figured it out
    i went back to my header.php file and realized i had commented out some stuff incorrectly in an effort to remove my sites title page and tagline above the header (which i found redundant)

    …i ended up removing all of my comments and bringing the header.php file back to stock…this of course brought my unwanted title and tagline
    back, but it fixed my issue with the padding!

    then in the style.css file i did a display:none; on my sites title and description, and it worked!
