 * Hello,
 * I was wondering if it was possible to lower the left sidebar by a little bit (
   20 pixels)? I am trying to align an element in the content on the right side 
   of the page.

 * Yes! As you can see when you visit the page, the sidebar does not align with 
   the headings that I want on the right.

 * Try adding these rules to the custom CSS option (**Appearance → Customize**, 
   then scroll all the way down until you see Custom CSS).
 *     ```
       #secondary {
           padding-top: 35px !important;
       }
   
       @media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
           #secondary {
              padding-top: 0px !important;
          }
       }
       ```
   
 * You can try changing the value of **padding-top** to suit your needs.
