Question

I need a second pair of eyes, if someone could help me please.

I have uploaded my index page to this site http://preview.tinyurl.com/ct9whug

If you could have a look at my source code/css and see what the problem is, as there is a white space at the top of my web page (about 35px in height), and I can’t seem to find what the problem is.

Answer 1

Actually the 8px margin has been applied to body tag by the browser for a minimal formatting.
To get rid of this, you need to override the body tag css style.

body {
    margin: 0;
}

i figured out the problem, which was with the H1 tag, applying following rule will fix

#header H1 {
   margin: 0;
}
