    Can anyone please tell me how to reduce the size of the header background,
   as there is two much blank space behind my header image? Site not published yet,

 * Hi,
    No, because it is not displaying an image, just text.

 * Could you take a screenshot and explain in more detail what you’re trying to 
   do, ideally by annotating the image directly?
 * Here’s a guide on how to make a screenshot:

 * You can upload the screenshot – in a graphic format like JPG, PNG, or PDF – in
   your Media Library, and provide a link so I can see it, or upload it with a service
   like [Imgur](https://imgur.com/) or [Snaggy](http://snag.gy/).
