    So first off I am a total noob and I am fumbling around largely under the "what does this button do" theory so be warned :p

    Ok so I have the following code :

    /*- Logo -*/
    #header h1{
    float: left;
    display:inline;
    }
    #header h1 a{
    display: block;
    height: 120px;
    width: 389px;
    }
    /*- RSS -*/
    #rss{
    float: right;
    font-size: 12px;
    padding: 16px 15px 0 0;
    text-align: right;
    width: 285px;
    }
    #rss a{
    color: #b3b3b3;
    }
    #rss ul{
    float: left;
    margin: 13px 0 0;
    width: 220px;
    }
    #rss li{
    margin: 0 0 3px;
    padding: 0 0 5px;
    }
    #rss img{
    float: right;
    }

    This produces a header (logo.jpg) on the left and an RSS button and text to the right.

    What I want to do is move the RSS stuff below the header or delete it altogether ... anyone point me as to how I would do this ? I am doing the editing in the wordpress Theme Editor if that makes a difference.

    Thanks for the help.

    I might be wrong but I believe you're going to need to go into the actual template files (like header.php) to make the changes you want. The code you provided is just the CSS file... and yes it's true you can position stuff with CSS, but something like getting the RSS-stuff below the header should probably be done in the template (header.php probably) file.

    To move your RSS stuff down you need to increase the width of your header by changing the "width: 389px" value. Change it to the width of your template.
