# top margin?

 * I cant seem to figure out how to shrink the top margin. On the stylesheet it 
   looks like all the margins are set to 0, but there is still a big gap. I am not
   a coder by any means so Im probably just missing something easy. Any ideas?

 * I assume it’s your header that’s dropping the content down as I see no header
   image.

 * I saw that, but it says to not remove that line. I tried it anyway and the page
   gave me error line 3 ?

 * Yes, that is the culprit. You don’t have to delete it. You could have #header{
   margin:-20px 0 -20px 0} (or some other amount) in your css.

 * hmm-I found that one, deleted it and got the same error.
    Beel- Do I type that
   in somewhere in the css or add it to something existing? Does it matter what 
   order I add it if its existing? Thanks for your help people!

 * Thanks Beel, what I mean to say is that I deleted it and then got a fatal error
   page, so I put it back in.
    I put the code you suggested in the css and it worked
   grand. thanks!
