 * I am trying to add a header image to my site (www.crazyaboutart.com) but when
   I moved the header image above the navigation bar a whole lot of white space 
   was added. Please help me remove it.

 * Some or all of this CSS may help
 *     ```
       .site-content {
          margin-top: 0;
       }
   
       .entry-content h1 {
          margin-top: 0;
       }
       ```

 * i figured it out, the navigation menu had padding attached to it, heres what 
   the code looks like for anyone with a similiar issue
 *     ```
       /* Navigation Menu */
       .main-navigation {
       	margin-top: 5px;
       	text-align: center;
       }
       .main-navigation li {
       	margin-top: 5px;
       	font-size: 12px;
       	font-size: 0.857142857rem;
       	line-height: 1.42857143;
       }
       ```
   
 * margin-top attribute is what adds/removes padding

 * thank you! It seems the only problem in the code was there was padding added 
   to the menu. Sorry im pretty new to code.
