what theme are you using?
can you post a link to your site?
if it is Twenty Eleven (where this question has been answered before a few times in this forum), then start by creating a child theme http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Child_Themes to work with.
once your child theme is activ, in style.css of the child theme, add:
#branding .only-search + #access div { padding-right: 10px; }
financeandcareersolutions.com
It is twenty eleven (sorry for asking it again, the search wasn’t bringing it up).
Do I have to rebuild the website in Child Theme or will it transfer over?
Thanks for your help.

you will definitively need to recreate the customisations in the child theme, and possibly upload the custom header again, etc.
read what the codex says about it http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Child_Themes .
there were also some forum topics about what to do if one needs to change an already customised theme into a child theme (I have no links at the moment, and didn’t need to do this myself so far).
without a child theme, you are running the risk that your theme gets overwritten with the next upgrade (although, before upgrading the theme, you will get a ‘prompt’, but if you accept that by mistake, the customisations are gone …)
the default Twenty Eleven theme is also the fallback in case of any theme problems, so having it unedited is a good idea.
Thanks again for your help. Unfortunately I don’t quite understand what the codex is asking me to do. I’m not HTML savvy and I find this rather confusing at times.
Can you provide me with a dumbed down version of how to create a child theme? Do I need to go to my host gator account to do this?
Appreciate your assistance.
Yay! I figured out how to create a child theme.
Can someone please help me get rid of the space/ wrapping on my menu bar?
Thanks,
The not so much HTML savvy person
