[diesel 0]

Hey guys, love the theme, but not use to creating code myself so I am a little lost on a change I'd like to make. http://markup.io/v/0vqm15np0g2e I included the markup to show exactly what I am trying to do. I just want to eliminate / shrink the whitespace between the header and the carousal so people with have to scroll less. Can one of you kind souls take a minute to assist me with how I correct that?

Hi Diesel, Try adding this to Platform Settings --> Custom Code --> CSS Rules: [code] #carousel .content-pad { margin: -2em 0; } [/code]

Danny, this could be totally human error, but I tried that and it didn't work (I feel bad rejecting the answer since it could be entirely my fault). I tried it several different ways, cleared my cache to make sure that wasn't the problem and even logged in from my other laptop. I have been toying with Firebug too and I am not seeing anything to tweak this. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to assist.

Try removing the spaces below and after "margin: -2em 0;" in the code provided above.

Hey Diesel, I just checked out the code you added to your CSS Rules and noticed you made a tiny and quite humorous mistake and not sure if this is causing the issue or not but this is what you added: [ code ] #carousel .content-pad { margin: -2em 0; } [ / code ] I've added a space otherwise it wouldn't show you correctly. So remove what you have added to your Custom CSS and add this instead and remember it shouldn't include the brackets and code text. #carousel .content-pad {margin:-2em 0 !important;} Give that a try and reply letting us know if it worked for you or not.

Hey, I'm just a mortgage monkey trying to design his own website ;) That worked perfectly, thanks much Danny!
