h1 {
   padding-top: 2px;
}

you could also use margin-top depending on what you are trying to accomplish.

Hi Erik, thanks a lot! Your answer is so helpful! Just one more question about the padding property. Since only the padding-top is given with value here, what are the values of the other three paddings in default? padding-right, padding-left and padding-bottom?

Sure...

padding: top right bottom left;

This is the order for both margin and padding. It starts at the top and works around clockwise.

padding: 10px 5px;

This would set both the top and bottom to 10px and right and left to 5px

padding: 10px 5px 0px;

This would set top to 10px right and left to 5px and bottom to 0 px

so you can choose to use the short hand for padding or use padding-top, padding-bottom, padding-left, padding-right.
