 * I really need to change the black padding thing around my theme
    I’m really not
   an expert with css codes and everything, I tried everything in customization 
   because I just want my theme to be white, and there wasn’t an option
 * Can please anyone help me with this?

 * I tried this, well the basic css style edit with just background and the color
   white… as you can see the background of my site is white actually, but the fading
   black line still stayed

 * It looks like you found a way because this morning when I checked out your site
   link, it’s definitely all white and open. I almost didn’t recognize my theme 
   when I saw is, lol. It was the social icons that gave it away 🙂

 * Yeah it worked when my friend did something with it :))
    Sory about the theme,
   i just shifted all to white, cause i needed the simple theme, otherwise it’s 
   really great! Only it should come in different colors :)) the black one wouldn’t
   fit

 * The benefit of the theme is that for the most part, you can have any colour combination
   that you want because of the theme options the theme comes with. But, I think
   it’s great to see someone using my themes in a different way and style, other
   than the default look and feel.

 * I’m having the same problem with my site using your theme (want the top and bottom
   all white). Could you please tell me how it’s done? Thank you!

 * Figured it out, and for anyone else looking for the solution: in the style.css,
   hit CTRL+F and search “padding:40px 0;” in the body under HTML Base and change
   the “40px” to “0” (minus the quotes of course). Or change it in your child theme.
