@mattsmith701:
1) I’d prefer not to use a large logo. When I upload something moderately sized like the logo I currently have, it loses some of its quality, especial in the outsides of the blue portion that I then have to crop. Is there a way to upload any-sized logo I want without have to worry about a loss in image resolution?
— You can crop using your Photo Editor and have the best quality logo. Then upload it though “Appearance => Header”, then after upload you will see ”
Crop Header Image” section. There you just Click on the Button “Skip Cropping, Publish Image as Is”.
2) Is there a way to bring the logo and search bar closer to the nav bar and eliminate much of the remaining white above them? I’m already using this code but it only eliminated a portion:
— That css is useless. If you want to reduce the padding top and bottom, adjust the padding as per you need and add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#site-logo,.header-sidebar { padding-top: 40px; }
#hgroup-wrap { padding-bottom: 40px; }
3) Am I able to move everything in the nav bar to the left? I don’t like them centered.
— Just add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
#header-menu ul.menu { text-align: left; }
