Hello, I've been dealing with this problem for a minute and scanned the questions but have failed to come up with a correct answer. I have copied what Nick told us to do and the top, left, and right is still not filled in. What am I doing wrong?

may be it is because of the h1 margin

2,963 Pointsi had the same problem for me it seemed to be the normalise.css wasn't quite doing its job. I replaced it with the following: -
/* CSS reset */
body,div,dl,dt,dd,ul,ol,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,pre,form,fieldset,input,textarea,p,blockquote,th,td {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
html,body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
table {
border-collapse:collapse;
border-spacing:0;
}
fieldset,img {
border:0;
}
input{
border:1px solid #b0b0b0;
padding:3px 5px 4px;
color:#979797;
width:190px;
}
address,caption,cite,code,dfn,th,var {
font-style:normal;
font-weight:normal;
}
ol,ul {
list-style:none;
}
caption,th {
text-align:left;
}
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {
font-size:100%;
font-weight:normal;
}
q:before,q:after {
content:'';
}
abbr,acronym {
border:0;
}

15,353 Pointsi dont know what is inside your header html, but if you have any h1 tags inside it, make sure to make its margin and padding set to 0

1,344 PointsI just tried changing my margin and padding to 0 in h1 and it still didn't work
Here's my header:
header {
float: left;
margin: 0 0 30px 0;
padding: 5px 0 0 0;
width: 100%;
}
#logo {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
h1 {
font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding-top: 0;
font-size: 1.75em;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 0.8ems;
}
h2 {
font-size: 0.75ems;
margin: -5px 0 0;
font-weight: normal;
}

Not to sound like a broken record but can you please provide your html, your css seems to be fine but it would help more if you we could see what you html looks like.
Thank you
