 * I want to decrease the white space above the header on my website (www.martijnboersma.
   com). I have tried adding the following code to header.php of the child-theme
   that I am using of the Hybrid WordPress Theme:
 *     ```
       #wrapper {
       margin-top:-40px;
       min-height:100%;
       min-width:700px;
       position:relative;
       }
       ```
   
 * Unfortunately, this didn’t work. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

 * I’m fairly sure negative margins don’t work, but don’t hold me to that. All that
   extra white space must be from an existing margin-top somewhere, right? You could
   look in your header.php to see if you can find it, then comment it out or delete
   it.
