 * I am not sure if anyone will see my response to a “resolved” post on this topic
   so please excuse the duplicate here. I will certainly delete one of them if necessary.
 * In any case, can someone please provide some guidance about how I could reduce
   the height of the header?
 * Thanks

 * Just reduce the margin value that says 40px.
 * Default Code:
 *     ```
       #masthead {
       margin: 40px auto;
       }
       ```

 * Thank you very much. That works.
 * I really appreciate it.
 *  I saw that in the CSS, but it baffled me how a margin setting would change the
   height of the background image? Is because it is building a margin around the
   edge of the logo?
