 * Hi, Im using the WordPress Twenty Ten Theme. Ive replaced the default header 
   image with my own image but i want the header to the higher up the page. As you
   can see in the screenshot below, there’s a big white gap.
 * [http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/9578/wpheaderex.png](http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/9578/wpheaderex.png)
 * What do i need to edit to put the header higher up? Ive looked in the CSS and
   php files but not sure at all what to do.

 * even if you don’t fill in the blog title and tag line, the space is still in 
   the code;
 * try to add:
 * `#site-title, #site-description { display: none; }`
 * to style.css of your theme.

 * Thanks for your help. I changed the padding to 0px now the gap has gone.

 * I have another question. I thought id ask here instead of creating a new thread.
 * How do i remove the thin black line which is above the Header image?

 * in style.css:
 *     ```
       /* This is the custom header image */
       #branding img {
       	border-top: 4px solid #000;
       	border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
       	clear: both;
       	display: block;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks again. Another question;
 * Can i put an advert inside the Header image on the right?
 * In style.css it says this;
 * “Twenty Ten supports six widgetized areas (two in the sidebar, four in the footer)
   and featured images (thumbnails for gallery posts and custom header images for
   posts and pages).”
 * Does this mean that it’s not possible to add an advert in the header if there
   is no widgetized area there?

 * it only means that you cannot add an advert into the header, using widgets.
 * option a:
    you can add a ‘widget area’ into the header; (generally described 
   here [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/create-3-horizontal-boxes-between-menu-and-container?replies=13](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/create-3-horizontal-boxes-between-menu-and-container?replies=13)–
   just needs a bit adjustment)
 * option b:
    you can edit header.php and hard-code an advert into the header, and
   with css positioning you can position it floating above the header image, on 
   the right side.
 * details depend on the size and kind of ad.

 * I’m trying to do a similar thing, and add a widget into my header. I’m totally
   neutral on which option to use, the easier the better. It’s a mailchimp subscribe
   button. Do I just add this somewhere? <?php mailchimpSF_signup_form(); ?> I’m
   not sure where exactly to put it??
