 * Just wondering how to shrink the header size. I haven’t used CSS in years so 
   this is all a little foreign to me.

 * Hi Precidia,
 * You can use the code
 * `.headerclass {
    height: 100px; }
 * repalce 100px with your desired height. And let me remind you also that you need
   to create and install a child theme of your theme before you do some customization.

 * Header size depends on the logo size and the padding around the logo and the 
   menu.
 * You can adjust the padding in the theme options > main settings. Just scroll 
   down to the logo and menu padding area.

 * I am the dumb! Used a huge image. Resized it and everything is fine now. Thanks
   so much.
