Themes

Thank you again Rick

I have been able to reduce the height of my footer by removing some spacers that were above the text I want to keep

#page-footer .col-md-8{
display: none;
}
#page-footer .col-md-4{
display: none;
}

I am now using a transparent footer so the image on my front page shows all the way to the bottom of the page and the site pages show the background color. I used:
#page-footer {
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);

Only problem I have remaining is the shadow at the top of the footer which I cannot seem to find info for anywhere. 

Any ideas?
