 * Hi! I´m fairly new to CSS editing and I´m having a problem with my Celestial 
   Aura theme. I can´t remove the space above the container. I have found the place
   where you change the Container Margin-top. It now says Margin-top: 10px. However,
   it is still fixed at 30px. It doesn´t change at all. I would like to set it at
   10px or 0px.
 * I would really appreciate any help concerning this issue. Here is the CSS coding
   from my theme:

 * Without being able to see the theme or an example of the issue, it’s difficult
   to diagnose. However, my first guess would be that you’re seeing the effect of
   the margin-top property on the #container element combined with the padding-top
   property of the .hdr_title element.
 * If it’s possible that that’s the case, try reducing the amount of padding at 
   the top of the .hdr_title element and see if that makes a difference.

 * Thank you Curtiss but it didn´t work with the “.hdr_title” change. Here is the
   link to the site, check it out and see if it helps: [http://bit.ly/f9ho1O](http://bit.ly/f9ho1O)

 * The [stylesheet for your theme](http://lonsamhetsdoktorn.se/wp-content/themes/celestial-aura/style.css)
   still has
 *     ```
       #container{
       	margin-top:30px;
       }
       ```
   
 * in it. Are you sure uploaded/saved the modified version?
