Making A Layout: Customizing the Sidebar

Now that we've picked how wide our content is, how wide the sidebar and the posts are, what our header image & header navbar look like; it is time to make that sidebar look like something!

Can you help me? I got this layout from a comm and I can't work out how to get rid of the gap at the top of the sidebar headings (aside from the profile one). I discovered there's div with a class named "box-after-first-widget" in there but not connected to the class is a margin that's causing the problem, but I have no way to override it... believe me, I've tried!
Any help would be brilliant.
Thanks

What type of journal is this? Is it flexible squares?

[muses_mistress]

It's Unstyled (Expressive)

That is why it looked funny when I tried to upload it. Okay... one minute.

Okay I'm having trouble with the coding coming up on my journal without the ads on the sidebar hindering everything but have you tried this

div.typelist-widget widget { margin-top: 0px; }
div.categories-widget widget { margin-top: 0px; }
div.customtext-widge widget { margin-top: 0px; }

That didn't help... I'm really not sure because I don't know too much about Expressive.

You might ask those over at http://everything-lj.livejournal.com/.

So sorry. I mean I know how to do this for Flexible Squares but in Flexible Squares you have the ability to code the types of boxes and then the boxes individually and I'm not sure it that is true of Expressive.

I gave that a try anyway and it didn't work. I'll go to everything-LJ and see what they say.

Thank you for your help.
