[SOLVED] Align sticky post text with top of right sidebar after hiding post header an

Noobie here and just getting started. Encountered a problem with the formatting of a sticky post. My goal is to have the sticky post text (i.e., body) align vertically with the top of the Home page's right sidebar.

I'm running WP 2.9.2 Atahualpa 3.5.1. I've hidden the post's header and byline using some code I found on this forum. (Awesome!) In ATO>Style Posts & Pages>Post Container the top margin is 0. In ATO>Style Posts & Pages>Post Container:Sticky the padding has been set to 0. But the sticky post's text still appears about 10px below the top of the right sidebar. (You can see this on my homepage at http://btwomey.com/. I've set the background color of the Sticky post's container to red to help me troubleshoot this.)

Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? No doubt something simple. And perhaps there is an easier or more appropriate way to do this but this was the best I could come up with. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks much. Bob
