  Theme Sundance – left margin got off at some point. How can I align it back with the left edge of my header image?
  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The Sundance theme is working as it was designed. The trouble is that Gravatar (author images) are not displayed on the left of posts for a single author blog. You can see the author images to the left of posts on the demo site here:
  http://sundancedemo.wordpress.com/

  The demo site does not use a header image (the demo is using a featured video carousel feature instead), which is why yours look different.

  You have a couple options.

  You can stop using a custom header image and setup a video carousel instead. See the Featured Video Carousel section at http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sundance/

  Another option could be to manually adjust the size of the header and shift the design left to compensate for the space a Gravatar would appear if you setup Sundance as a multi-author blog. Here is an example snippet of CSS you can use if you like this option:

  .masthead-inner > a img {
  	display: none;
  }
  
  .masthead-inner > a {
  	display: block;
  	width: 874px;
  	height: 214px;
  	background: url(http://mymateriallife.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/cropped-img_63601.jpg?w=874) no-repeat;
  	margin-left: 11%;
  }
  
  body {
  	margin-left: -11%;
  }

  Belated thanks for this. Always appreciate your thoughtful and detailed assistance. I’ve decided to make the switch to a premium theme. Cheers!
