 * I am unfamiliar with how to actually use padding for my website, but I think 
   that it will allow me to get rid of space between text and sections. When I put
   numbers in the padding section, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Is the
   a tutorial out there? I am working with the One Tone Pro Theme. Any help would
   be appreciated.

 * Okay so are you taking about the padding between the **INTRODUCTIONS** and **
   OFFERINGS** section?

 * Yes, I am talking about the padding between introductions and offerings, but 
   between any sections in general. And, if I can’t get the picture in my banner
   section to display properly, then I will need to do something about the large
   space between the banner section and the introductions. I have no idea where 
   to start when it comes to scaling my pictures. Some seem to work fine and others
   do not.

 * Okay, so i check out your site and i can see that some padding are considerably
   reduced maybe due to the added background images.
 * So i don’t know where you want to reduce the space exactly, but i will give you
   a general idea on how to do it.
 * **EXAMPLE:**
    If you have a section that has the following HTML and CSS code:**
   HTML:** <div class=”example-section”>THIS IS A TEXT</div> **CSS:**
 *     ```
       .example-section {
          padding: 70px; // spaces on all sides
       }
       ```
   
 * OR
 *     ```
       .example-section {
          padding: 70px 70px; // top and bottom spaces
       }
       ```
   
 * OR
 *     ```
       .example-section {
          padding: 70px 70px 70px 70px; // top right bottom left spaces
       }
       ```
   
 * Then to reduce the spaces just reduce the value of the padding CSS property, 
   like this:
 *     ```
       .example-section {
          padding: 10px; // spaces on all sides
       }
       ```
   
 * OR
 *     ```
       .example-section {
          padding: 20px 10px; // top and bottom spaces
       }
       ```
   
 * OR
 *     ```
       .example-section {
          padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px; // top right bottom left spaces
       }
       ```
   
 * I apologize for the delay in my response. Let me know if it helps 🙂
