 * From the bottom of the header menu bar to the first line of text there is a large
   space- it looks to be 1 inch on the screen. I removed the page title but would
   also like to remove most of the space. Any suggestions?

 * I hope you making changes in child theme style.css
 * There is small padding here
 *     ```
       #main {
           clear: both;
           padding: 1.625em 0 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * change 1.625em to 0
 * and there is padding on this code
 *     ```
       .singular.page .hentry {
           padding: 3.5em 0 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * Change 3.5em to 0 or smaller padding if desired

 * I have created a child theme from which I am running the theme. However, the 
   only thing showing up in the style.css is this:
    /* Theme Name: Twentyeleven 
   Child Description: Child theme for the twentyeleven theme Author: Papaka Template:
   twentyeleven */
 * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“../twentyeleven/style.
   css”);
 * #site-title a {
    color: #009900; }

 * Should I copy the style.css from main theme into my child and then modify as 
   you suggest?

 * I do have one more question that surfaced…
    The article headline: “The Future
   of Legal Services Does Not Have To Look Like The Past!” ignores changes to size.
   Is there something within the code that prevents this?

 * When you added that title in content did you say how you want to display the 
   title from fonts like h1 or h2 as when I look at code there are no h1 or h2 tags
   just span with color red.

 * Yes, I tried h1 or h2, then I tried re-writing html code to call out the font
   and size I wanted. No changes noted at all.

 * I see there may problem code
    <h2 style=”text-align: center;”> <span style=”color:#
   ff0000;”> <span style=”font-family: Arial Black; font-size: medium;”>The Future
   of Legal Services Does Not Have To Look Like The Past!</span> </span> </h2>
 * see if you can font-size:24px; for trial you can always change the size so above
   code try and see if this works
 * <h2 style=”text-align: center;color: #ff0000;font-size:24px;”>
    The Future of
   Legal Services Does Not Have To Look Like The Past!</h2>

 * That took care of it.
    Wow, I created the raw html code in Front page and just
   copied and pasted. Also just tried the h1 or h2 setting; nothing worked.
 * Thanks again!
