( . . . ): Padding

6.3.06

Padding

Can anyone see where the 20px or so of padding/margin up above the header picture are coming from? I can't find it in my style sheet anywhere. I suspect I'm looking in the wrong place.

I have the exact same problem. If anyone comes up with a solution, please let me know!

Really nice design for a first design, Martin!; March 06, 2006 8:10 pm

So, it worked on the page code. However, since the junk is generated by the Blogger system, you may not be able to delete it permanently. But it is worth a try.

Still, I can see that it would fuck up some designs, so it's nice to be able to remove it when you want.; March 07, 2006 12:26 am

Anon: hilsc yourself. Thanks for the tip.; March 07, 2006 12:28 am
