Then I realized all I had to do to make the header div flush top and left was position it absolutely. And that did work. Alternatively, I guess I could have moved the skip-link div.

Thanks for the ideas and comments though. I'm new to WordPress but really appreciating this forum.

The code I posted removes the margins and replaces them with padding so the text stays in the same position but the background colour extends to the top of the page. If you just want the margins gone use:

#blog-title {margin:0;}

I think the white space might be caused by skip-link, even though I have display set to none--?

And thanks for the advice about the wpstats.

Thank you all for responding so quickly.

#blog-title {margin:0; padding:20px;}

Maybe with the CSS upgrade you can move it somewhere less obvious, though I do not know for certain.

I'm working on a new blog using Sandbox 1.6.1, and I've run into two problems I haven't found a solution for. The blog is http://janspiller.wordpress.com.

problem #1-- About 20 pixels of unwanted white space at the top of the page. (I've made the header div gray so you can see the white space.) How can I get rid of it?

problem #2-- a little smiley face appears at the far left under the gold bar. Now where in the world is that coming from?

Thank you to any more experienced wordpressers who can help.
