Hey Wes, in addition to my findings above, I *just* realized why there is a space between the two widgets.
I noticed that the space between the widgets is the same size as the header. Therefore…
Just like the post, the relative “margin top” of the widget is from the top of the page (so the first widget also has a space, but it is filled by the header itself). The second widget has a top margin relative to the bottom of the first widget.
So I think I figured out what’s going on with the posts and the widgets, but I have no idea how to fix them!
