 * For some reason twenty eleven wordpress theme the header shrank and there is 
   space between the header and the background color on both sides of the header.
   Would like to expand the header back so no white is showing between the header
   and the background, The website is [http://www.Happylivingvegan.com](http://www.happylivingvegan.com)
   Thanks in advance for taking the time to read

 * I had the same issue, so I had to adjust the size on my camera, it would seem
   that the pictures you set as your headers need to be 2048×1536 = 594kb… if all
   you pics are close to that, it should work fine. [](http://www.multidome-av-dj-services.com)

 * you have some mess in the header code, so that the header image is now within
   the `hgroup`:
 *     ```
       <div id="page" class="hfeed">
       	<header id="branding" role="banner">
       			<hgroup>
   
       <hgroup>
   
       <a href="http://happylivingvegan.com/" title="Happy Living Vegan" rel="home"> 
   
       <img src="http:// full path to your image here" alt="" />
   
       </a>
   
       </hgroup>
   
       						<a href="http://happylivingvegan.com/">
       									<img src="http://happylivingvegan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/cropped-happylivingheader44444.jpg" width="1000" height="250" alt="" />
       							</a>
       ```
   
 * repair that and you should be fine.
 * this is also reflected in the validation errors:
    [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.happylivingvegan.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.happylivingvegan.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0)
