  Hi Everyone!
  I am using the Adaption theme, and I feel like there’s just a lot of empty white space at the bottom of the pages. So I was hoping to get rid of some of the empty space, and move the WordPress link and Theme link into the sidebar (which I can just do via widget, if I can remove it from the bottom). I found some code that allowed me to add text to the footer, but not to override it, or remove it. Any help with this would be much appreciated! My site is: http://jennylanewrites.wordpress.com/

  Thank you!

  The WordPress and theme footer credits have to stay in the footer area, visible and readable, so they can’t be moved into the sidebar, but we can certainly get rid of the generous padding above and below the credits. Add the following and see what you think. 20px seems to work quite well (it was 80px).

  #colophon {
      padding-top: 20px;
      padding-bottom: 20px;
  }

  That is SO much better — Thank you!
  Is it possible to get rid of some of the empty space at the bottom of the pages, too?
