 * Hi all.
    1. Is it possible to decrease the space in between the masthead and 
   the headline of a post. I’d like posts always to show on first scroll. 2. Is 
   it possible to have the top widget open by default? Thanks for helping out! sakari

 * Sure, do you mean this space? [https://cloudup.com/cuh6JEclITZ](https://cloudup.com/cuh6JEclITZ)
 * If so, adding this CSS to your custom CSS plugin or child theme will reduce that
   space:
 *     ```
       .site-content .hentry {
            padding: 10px 0 0 0;
       }
       ```

 * No, not easily. The theme is designed to have the widget area tucked away and
   hidden until you click to activate the panel.
