I have a site visible here where I have created a child theme in order to add a custom header and footer from the rest of the (non blog) website.
I've removed everthing from the existing header apart from <?php wp_head(); ?>
as this is required to call many other elements in the page. However at larger screen resolutions there is what appears to be a div present on the left hand side of the screen, which I would like to remove.
using firebug this element appears to be in the body, but i couldn't track it down any further. This must be a pseudo element of some kind?
Then i will be able to add in my header.
