Thanks, Juggledad.
Disclaimer: I'm no IT guy. I'm a writer (among other things) and only set up the website so I could have a bit more control, and a nicer "look", than the WordPress.com in-house blogs had to offer.
I did search the Forums (not to sure how to identify the issue) and didn't find anything.

It was all working fine before I upgraded (Sunday Feb.16) to the current versions of WordPress and Atahualpa 3. Before the upgrades, the Header Image (standard default Atahualpa flowers & berries) did not have white space above it. Since those Upgrades, it now has a band of white above the Header Image that is about the same size as the Header Image itself. That is not only unsightly and visually distracting, it is also a significant waste of screen-space.
My preference would be to leave the Header Image "band" the same size it is now, and move it ^UP^ so the white-band no longer exists.
If that isn't possible, I could live with the Header Image being twice as high, thus filling in the "overhead" space that is now white. (That option would waste screen space, but at least it would look better.)
I haven't a clue what a code examiner is; I could probably locate FireBug (I use Firefox), but might well not know what it would be telling me.

Q2 >I will try playing with the "position: fixed" stuff. This question (Q2) about scrolling is a lower priority than the first one. My main concern with Q2 to begin with is whether or not Atahualpa 3 even supports [body-scrolling with fixed header/columns]. If it doesn't, I'm wondering if any other blogging-friendly Themes do have that feature.
