 * I can’t remove the empty space before my H2 tags at the top of my page (www.insultproof.
   com). This is the stylesheet:
 * _Stylesheet removed. Just give a link to your site. We can see your stylesheet
   there. -moderator_

 * can you give more details?
 * there is no h2 in the page you linked to.
    and the space above the h3 does not
   seem to be too large.
 * which browser are you using?

 * edit style.css of your theme:
 * there is this style with a 40px padding on top:
 *     ```
       #main {
       	clear: both;
       	overflow: hidden;
       	padding: 40px 0 0 0;
       	background:url(images/main_bg.png) repeat-x left top;
       }
       ```
   
 * decreasing the 40px would also ‘lift’ the sidebar up;
 * and this style with 12px padding on top:
 *     ```
       .entry-content,
       .entry-summary {
       	clear: both;
       	padding: 12px 0 0 0;
       }
       ```
