 * Hi All,
 * I’m working on a site & building a twenty eleven child theme as I go.
 * I hope it’s me having a ‘man look’, but I’m having all sorts of problems getting
   the alignment of the title of the post (i.e. the first post) at the top of the
   blog page [http://lifenergy.clixbits.com/?page_id=204](http://lifenergy.clixbits.com/?page_id=204)
   to come down a bit.
 * Maybe some padding of 20px something like that, for some reason I don’t seem 
   to be able to target the titles on the page (css style paths etc), so that the
   title aligns with the titles (page titles) of the rest of the site.
 * It’s doing my head in!
 * Can anyone see what I can’t?
 * I just know it’s going to be a smarty pants girl saying, ‘see, it’s right there
   in front of you!’.
 * thanks in advance for any help. even you smarty pants girls.
    🙂

 * Add
 *     ```
       div.meteor-slides {
        float: left;
        height: auto !important;
       }
   
       #main {
        padding-top: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * Your header wasn’t picking up the correct height of your slideshow.
    Adding this
   float and height corrects the height of your header.
 * As the header has the correct height, you can now remove your padding top of 
   280 pixels that was applied to your main `<div>` by setting it to 0.

 * try setting the top padding of `#main` to `33%` – in your last style in style.
   css of the child theme (seems to work in Firefox15 testing with web developer
   add-on).
