  hi i have a menu which currently looks like: https://www.dropbox.com/s/whyusq6vb0rag6o/Screenshot%202014-12-02%2012.54.28.png?dl=0

  I want to add space above where the menu starts so it all fits in frame and Home text isnt cut off. Thanks

  here is my code:
  #mk-vm-menu{
  background:url(“/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/border2.png”) no-repeat scroll 17px 0px;
  min-height:422px;
  }
  #menu-dbc{width:247px}
  .sub-menu{margin-left: 14px !important; width: 230px;}

  Thank you

  Hi there, there aren’t any WordPress.com sites associated with your username. Can you give us a URL to the site you are talking about please?

  I tried to check the first image link posted, but it didn’t work for me so maybe that image was removed or just a temporary link.

  There isn’t a way to give a code example based on your code example without seeing the live site, however, I can try to give you some information to put you in the right direction. To add space above a menu, you can try to find the container menu element and add a top margin to it or you can look for the container element just above the menu (often the branding or header area) and add a bottom margin to that.

  Based on the code examples you gave, it seems like your site is probably not hosted here at WordPress.com. See http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ to learn about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org setups. If your site is not hosted here at WordPress.com, the next best place to ask questions about a theme is through the them author. Some theme authors offer support and some do not. You can find out the theme author by looking at the information at the top of the style.css file for your theme. If you cannot find hep from the theme author, then you can ask for help in the volunteer-based forums at http://wordpress.org/support/ When you ask for help, specific examples like the ones you provided are a good idea, and if possible it’s really helpful to include a link to a site or a test site where someone can see the problem in action.
