Hello!
Thank you for your theme, it is lovely!
I am totally new to this and have just started customising my blog. I created a child theme, so that’s a good start but there are a few things I can’t figure out.

There’s a large space between some of my widgets in the side bar, how can I change this please?

Also, the area around my header picture is a dark grey colour and I don’t know how to change it.

Here’s the link to my blog:

Thank you for your help!

Hi Jenny,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your questions.

There’s a large space between some of my widgets in the side bar, how can I change this please?

I can see only one large space between the widgets as shown in the attached screenshot which you can reduce by adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS option of your theme on the below path.

Admin Area -> Apperance -> Theme Options -> Other -> Custom CSS

#secondary .widget_facebook_likebox {
  margin-bottom: 12px;
}
#secondary .widget_facebook_likebox h3.widget-title {
  margin-bottom: 0;
}

Please advise by sharing the screenshots if there are more large spaces like this.

Also, the area around my header picture is a dark grey colour and I don’t know how to change it.

I don’t see any grey colour around your header picture as shown in the second attached screenshot.

Have you managed to change it?

Please advise.

Best Regards,
Movin
