Sub-Categories Contrib Help

[fut]

I have installed a module that makes my sub-categories viewable. An easy install. Here is the new code catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php

Please view my store at www.crazyjordans.com Three things:

 

1) What code makes the yellow text "Categories" show I want to remove it for the obvious reasons

 

2) What code makes that big gap at the end of the categories - I want to remove this too.

 

3) How do I change the link color back to grey while keeping my other links blue? Is this done in my stylesheet, how do I tackle this?

 

Thanks!

I'm sorry I figured out how to remove the Categories. My main concern is with the spaces on both sides!

 

Thank you.
