Help me Manifest theme Customization

    Hey! I’m pretty okay with html/css but there a few changes I cannot figure out how to make. I would like to move the “MAIN” on the main page closer to the black border above it. Also, any way I can get rid of the text underneath the Search bar. I don’t mind keeping the theme name and creator but the “Clone this…” and “Fonts on…” and that smiley doesn’t seem necessary. There is also a lot of extra space underneath the Search bar I can’t figure out how to remove. In general, I want my main page to be seen as one without any scrolling.

    I’m also having space issues with the blog page here trnotebook.com/blog/page/3/ You will notice for some posts, the headings are to close to the dates or the “Leave a Comment” link varies in size. How can I fix this? I redid the posts so I think it is a CSS problem. Thanks a lot!!!

    First thing: Do not paste the entire stylesheet into the CSS edit window as it will almost always cause you issues and things will break. Add only the specific selectors and only the specific declarations you are adding or changing to the CSS edit window and those will override the original CSS. Make sure that “add to existing…” is selected before saving.

    For the text in the top nav, to move it closer to the upper line, put this in your custom CSS and play with the 6px value in the padding declaration here.

    #main-nav {
padding: 6px 0 0;
}

    It is against the Terms of Service to remove or alter the credits in the footer of the of the themes here and doing so can get your site suspended.

    You can make them a little less visible like this.

    #footer p, #footer a {
color: #888888;
}

    On the blog page, I’m not seeing any inconsistencies between posts.

    The smiley at the bottom of your site is part of the stats system here. Staff have said in the past that hiding it could possibly affect your stats. I don’t know if this is true or not, but the following will “hide” it but keep it active on the site.

    #wpstats {
margin-left: -9999px;
}

    Thanks! Everything worked but there is still a lot of space between the page heading and navigation. I’ve been playing with the numbers but nothing has moved. This is what my CSS looks like:

    #main-nav {
    background:#ffffff;
    border-bottom:1px solid #000000;
    border-top:1px solid #000000;
    display:block;
    min-height:20px;
    margin-top:10px;
    position:relative;
    padding:2px 0 0;
    }

    #footer p,#footer a {
    color:#888888;
    }

    #wpstats {
    display:block;
    text-align:center;
    margin:0 auto 20px;
    }

    body {
    line-height:1;
    background:#fff;
    font:62.5% Palatino, Georgia, serif;
    color:#000000;
    }

    a:hover,a: {
    color:#239f9f;
    }

    h1 a:link,h1 a:visited {
    color:#239f9f;
    }

    h1 a:hover,h1 a:active {
    color:#000000;
    }

    h2 {
    color:#239f9f;
    }

    h3 a:link,h3 a:visited {
    color:#239f9f;
    }

    h3 a:hover,h3 a:active {
    color:#239f9f;
    }

    h4 {
    color:#239f9f;
    }

    #main-nav li {
    display:inline;
    font-size:1.5em;
    height:20px;
    margin-right:20px;
    text-transform:uppercase;
    }

    #main-nav a:hover {
    color:#239f9f;
    }

    #main-nav ul ul a:hover {
    color:#239f9f;
    }

    #main-nav ul li:hover > ul {
    color:#239f9f;
    }

    #main-nav a {
    color:#000;
    white-space:nowrap;
    }

    The large white space is where the tag line goes. This will get rid of it.

    #site-description {
display: none;
}
