 * Hello,
    On my site [http://www.constructmagazine.com](http://www.constructmagazine.com),
   I want to decrease height of header to eliminate the unused white area above 
   and below the logo, so that it just fits to the header and i save space. How 
   to do it?

       .logo h1 {
           margin: 0;
       }
       ```
