• Hey all.
    I am building a wordpress site from scratch. I have the sandbox 1.6.2 theme and have decided to use only my css. I haven’t gotten far, but since I have very little CSS done, it should be easy to track down my problem.
    I have exactly 8 px of white space around the whole site. I set margins and padding to zero for every potential selector I could think of, but the margin is still there.

    Thanks so much. I would love to hear your ideas. I have googled by butt off looking for the answer to this.

    Here is my site:

    here is my CSS:
    #wrapper {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    }

    #header {
    width:100%;
    height:210px;
    background-color:rgb(59,28,18);
    background-image:url(‘http://withsugarontop2.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/headerbackground1.png’);
    background-position:center;
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    }

    div#header h1 {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    }

    div#blog-description {
    display:none;
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    }

    div#header span {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    }

    div#header a {
    display:block;
    width:800px;
    height:210px;
    margin-left:auto;
    margin-right:auto;
    background-color:rgb(59,28,18);
    background-image:url(‘http://withsugarontop2.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/withsugartitle1.png’);
    background-position:center;
    background-repeat:none;
    text-indent:-1999px;
    overflow:hidden;
    margin-top:0;
    padding:0;
    }

    .skip-link {
    position:absolute!important;
    clip:rect(1px,1px,1px,1px);
    }
