 * Hi,
 * For some reason, I have a bizarre amount of white space in the area above my 
   navigation and below my header. I’m not really sure why this is happening and
   I’ve tried quite a few things with CSS—padding and margins and floats and what
   not.
 * Here is [the site in question](http://avonparkcca.org/), and I am using the Pinboard
   theme.
 * Thank you,
    Matt

 * You have huge margins here:
 * #header #searchform {
 * AND HUGE MARGINS HERE:
 * #site-title
 * Check those CSS classes out in your stylesheet.

 * This is happening because of “sidebar header”. In style.css it define as following:
 *     ```
       #sidebar-header {
       	float:right;
       	width:728px;
       	height:90px;
       	margin:15px 0;
       	overflow:hidden;
       }
       ```
   
 * You need to edit height of in this style as per your requirement. Also you need
   to edit style for “searchform”, it define as:
 *     ```
       #header #searchform {
       	float:right;
       	margin:60px 3.4% 0 3px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Here you need to adjust margins.

 * Thank you all. Those specific suggestions didn’t have any effect, but it got 
   me down the right trail.
