 * I uploaded a logo using the automatic logo updater in the Target theme. There’s
   extra padding underneath and when I edit the header section in stylesheet.css,
   nothing happens. How can I fix this? I’m new to WordPress and CSS.

 * That space is where the menu bar goes — though you do not have one. Are you planning
   to have any kind of menu bar? If not, you can change the margins in the below
   CSS to zero, and it will get rid of that space.
 * This is on line 465 of style.css — just change to **margin: 0;**
 *     ```
       #menubar {
           float: left;
           margin: 27px 20px 0 30px;
           position: relative;
           width: 700px;
           z-index: 99;
       }
       ```

 * Just noticed one other thing — you can also make the padding in this code to 
   zero too:
 *     ```
       #header2 {
           margin: 0 auto;
           padding-bottom: 15px;
           width: 964px;
       }
       ```

 * You are my hero! This was making me crazy!! If I do wind up adding a drop-down
   menu, would I still be able to keep the padding at 0? It looks so much better
   now. Also, how would I go about adding a drop-down menu if I decided to add one?

 * See the [Codex on Menus](http://codex.wordpress.org/Navigation_Menus). There 
   is a menu section under appearance in the dashboard. If you add a menu, change
   the margins and padding back to what they were — or adjust to your liking.

 * Thank you so much! WordPress and CSS is overwhelming for newbies like me 🙂
