Banner/header at the top of page, how do I lower the header down? Options

[RoyalRiver]

My livejournal: http://yucor.livejournal.com/

Can someone help me bring my banner/headyu a little bit lower? I want it directly on top of that box in the middle. It didn't used to be all the way at the top. I don't know what happened. Here's my layout code:

I'm not entirely sure how much further down you want it, but a quick skim of your coding makes me think that you should adjust the red to move it up/down (I'm not entirely sure, though, let me know how it goes).

#header{
background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Jchris34232/itsgoingdown2.png)

;
position:absolute;
visibility:visible;
top:0px;
width:550px;
left:50%;
margin-left:-275px;
height:300px;
text-align:center;
font-size:20pt;
}

body {
background-color:#e5e5e5;
background-image:url(http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/6999/bgimage7jc.png);
background-repeat:repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
background-position:top left;
text-align:center;
margin:0;
margin-top:300px;
padding:0;
}
i think this is actually where you would edit it. 300px is the height of your header, and you should (i hope) just be able to increase it. try anna's first. she actually uses S1.

Azarel: Your advice worked. Thanks to both of you guys for replying and helping me out.

I'm glad things worked out. Please PM me if you have any other questions and I'll reopen this thread for you.
