[SOLVED] Site footer - problems

Hi there,

I've been having various problems getting the footer at the bottom of the theme (not post/page footer) to look the way I want it to.

First I wanted to align it right but couldn't get it to appear with padding - it was pushed right up against the container border. I tried various padding / margin fixes and even a css insert I found in this forum, but it didn't work.

So, I've reverted to centering it. But I'd like to reduce the height of the box it is contained in - ie reduce the space above and below the text content (atahualpa credits etc). Again, I've tried altering padding settings in the Footer style options, to no avail.

What could I be doing wrong? (latest version of Wordpress and Atahualpa installed).

Thanks!
