No gap in top margin wanted. How?

    I was wondering if someone could help.
    I created a Christmas theme for a good friend of mine using the “Yellehs 0.1”.
    It came out great I think.
    However, I would like to remove the gap that’s on top. Between the border and the the top edge of the screen. Did that make sense?
    I looked at the css file on this theme and I don’t see where I could go and change it so I can remove it.

    Can anybody help?

    The theme I created for her can be found at:

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    did you try changing the 0px margin in the “body” element of your CSS code? I changed it to about -22px using Firefox web developer plugin and it looked fine. Can’t vouch what it would look like in IE though.

    HTH.

    By the way – nice touch with the falling snow on your personal site.

    Thanks for the compliment!

    Now in re: to the margin again…
    I don’t see that option.
    maybe I’m just missing it?

    I will post it here and maybe someone can point out what I need to change.

    The css code that I’m refering to appears to be hard coded into either the header.php or index.php file. When you view the source code of the index page, this is what I see – notice where it says “custom variable stylesheet” and then has the “body” element? That’s what needs to be changed. From – body {
    margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
    to:
    body { margin: -22px; } changing the top margin to -22px which will get rid of the gap at top. If you still aren't sure, you can take this offline to save some space by emailing me at oumba96[at]gmail.com I have emails open all the time, so can respond back immediately.

    Thank you!
    I figured it out…
    The code I need to change was in a style.inc file in the yellehs directory.
    It doesn’t display in the theme editor for some reason.
    Ah well…
    At least that’s take care of!
    Thanks a bunch!
    I appreciate the help
