 * Heya, I am trying to resize the navigation to be a bit smaller in height but 
   cannot seem to get it right. I modified .section-inner and was able to make it
   smaller, but my navigation menu is then shown below the menu. Obviously some 
   more code needs to be edited, probably with the positioning of the nav, but I
   can’t seem to figure it out. Any suggestions?

 * Hi kentlycurtis,
 * To change the height of the nav bar, install a custom CSS plugin like [Simple Custom CSS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/)
   and enter the following code:
 * `.main-menu > li > a { padding: 20px 27px; }`
 * Edit the value “20px” until you’re happy with the results. Let me know how it
   goes.

 * I can see this changing something, mainly the positioning of the list within 
   the dark grey navigation box. However, the black box still stays the same. Thanks
   in advance~!

 * I think you need to shrink the search icon. Otherwise it forces the size of the
   navigation bar to be larger. I could only do this by hacking the .php file.
