Working on a new blog using wordpress(tumblr was becoming a bit limited for my liking).

Rough edit currently linked here: http://ryanarts.co.uk/blog/

First question, I've pretty much managed to suss out and edit everything except the header height. It seems fixed to a particular size, meaning the content doesn't start until further down the page. There doesn't seem to be a margin in place, either. Anyone know which stylesheet properties would need adjusted for this? :)

Secondly, does WP have an option for inserting Google Analytics data? I can't find the HTML 'header' in the settings panel to insert it manually. Perhaps the chap who built the theme didn't include it? I'd like to edit the meta data and things, too. :)

Thanks in advance.
 
1) Your header height is specified on that page. Line 38, internal style reference.

2) I assume you want to install GA for your site? In which case there should be a plugin that will enable you to do that. Or, if you are comfortable modifying the templates you can put the code in yourself.

If you want to edit your page meta data, such as title and description you can do that via a number of SEO plugins. All in one SEO is quite popular. Or you can implement your own via other methods.
 
Thanks for your help Gord! Managed to implement the analytics code but haven't yet found the style attributes that adjust the header height.

Not to worry. Might just leave it as is. How's the design looking so far? It's very basic but legible?
 
Your header height is defined in the HTML's header rather than the CSS file:

Code: 
<style type="text/css">
        #header {
			height: 132px;
            background: url();
        }
		
		#header a {
				    display: none;
		    </style>

And you've got a 20px padding for the header set in the CSS:

Code: 
#header {

	margin: 0 -20px;

	padding: 20px;

}

Giving an overall blank space of 172px.
