Need CSS help

Hello. I updated my Graphene theme last night and unfortunately, I don’t think that was a smart idea because it overwrote some of the customized HTML coding from the previous theme’s version.

I’m trying to re-do my website as it was before the update, but I’m a little stuck with one thing.

Per my image, I’m trying to do two things:

– Create a shadow underneath my banner image.

– Eliminate the line in the margin I created between the banner and content area so that it blends with the background. In other words, I want the banner to be “separate” in appearance from the content area.

Could anyone help?

Yes, but we’ll need a link to the site, since it’s rather difficult to guess at what we are seeing.

That is why you want to use the theme’s built-in features, or use a child theme:

Getting a database error. Is your server down?

Should be working now. It does that sometimes.

This is what I’m seeing in Firefox:

Did you change anything? Which browser are you using?

You should talk to your host. If it does it often enough to be noticeable, this is an issue.

I didn’t change anything. I’m using Chrome.

Any suggestions on my initial inquiry? Thanks so much.

Just describe the issue, e.g. “Sometimes, out of the blue, my site is showing database error. This has happened multiple times.”

```
#header {

margin-bottom: 12px;

text-shadow: 0 0 10px #000;

}

#container {

text-shadow: none;

}

#content-main {

text-shadow: 0 0 10px #000;

}
```
Just a guess, your mileage may vary.

Is the picture you’re showing us what your site used to look like, or what it looks like now? You weren’t clear on this.
