top of the page – shifting up on background

  • quick q:

    is it possible to scoot the overall page up on the homepage?— so that the background doesn’t frame so much of the top edge of the homepage?

    as you’ll see on my site, i’m playing with a black background, which i like on the left and right, but it looks too heavy at the top of the page. can i change that? A tiny bit might be okay.. I’d like to try both of these options: a tiny bit of black edging as one option and then zero black with the header pics up at the very top edge as option two

    thank you, thank you!!

    Try playing around with this CSS property:

    body .site {
    margin-top: 3.428571429rem;
}

    I found it on line 1591, but it’s in a media query, so you might need to change it in a couple of other places too.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    @dequecolour, That means you need to override the style (that @kevin pointed out) from within your Child Theme style.css file.

    Thank you Andrew, I forgot to mention that. More info on child themes can be found here:

    Thank you. that worked!

    I am looking at the CSS for a similar question now.

    if you look at my site:
    internalcompass.us/castle

    I want to have the header and the content take up all of the white space from left to right (so that the white space margin is much thinner or gone entirely) so the header can expand more than 960 pixels to occupy most of the white space & the black background can serve as the frame — Can I do that?

    You can change Line 1431 of your CSS file to 

    .site {
     max-width: none;
}

    Or another wider value instead of none.
    But be careful because doing this will probably break some other formatting.

    If you want to play around with your CSS, I highly recommend that you check out the Chrome browser developer tools or the Firebug extension for Firefox.
