 * I’m putting together a WP theme, and I’ve come across a problem which I can’t
   figure out for the life of me!
 * Here’s a screenshot:

 * As you can see, the author/gravatar section for the first comment doesn’t have
   left padding consistent with all the other comments, and I haven’t a clue why.
   The classes are the same for all comments, and Chrome shows that there isn’t 
   any padding be added by anything to the first comment.
 * Does anyone have an clue why? I welcome any suggestions no matter how far fetched!
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Have you validated your theme’s markup & CSS?

 * Yep, completely valid both HTML and CSS and no PHP warnings or notices.

 * Problem turned out to be caused by <div class=”navigation”>, which had 0px height
   so I hadn’t noticed it!
 * Thanks for your help.
