I've been playing with the r7throot7 template, editing it to learn how it works. One thing has me stumped and I'm suspecting it's a CSS thing I'm just not understanding. The default template has two little boxes of icons for login, edit, histpry, profile, etc. One such box at the top of the left sidebar, one at the bottom.
I've commented out of main.php the code to build the top box, so now only the bottom box of icons appears.
However....
There still appears to be space reserved for those top icons, even though they're not being put there anymore. To demonstrate this, I changed the background colour for "sidebar" in the layout.css file to green. As you can see from the image below, there's a chunk of whitespace above the green. How do I get rid of that?
Alternatively, how do I move the "Code Snippets" text up to the top of the green, so that it's in line with the "Exploring the Mountains" text?
Either way would accomplish the goal of trying to get those two lines of text to align.
Any suggestions would be much much appreciated.
Thanks!
