 * Hi guys,
 * my blog is at [http://onlinediamondbuyingguide.com/blog/](http://onlinediamondbuyingguide.com/blog/)
 * Could anyone offer advice on how to reduce the grey spacing between the browser
   and top header? So that the entire blog moves higher up above the fold.
 * Thanks in advance!
    Paul

 * That space is being created by this:
 *     ```
       #page {
           margin: 2em auto;
           max-width: 1000px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Change the 2em. But I see that you have a child theme — with the entire twentyeleven
   stylesheet in it – not the ideal way to set up a child theme. So find it in there.
 * For working with CSS, try using Firebug — which will show you exactly which CSS
   is affecting a specific area/element of the page.
