 * Hello, I inserted an image in the header.php and it appears but aligns along 
   a margin on the left that I can’t get rid of. I put in align code left so it’s
   in the theme code and is not the way the image is aaligning. Also, the image 
   is oversized at 1800px width. Here is the site – [http://edenvalleycare.com](http://edenvalleycare.com)
   I want the image to span the header edge to edge. Can anyone assist? Thanks, 
   Derek

 * most of the white space on top is from the site title and description – even 
   if left empty in ‘settings – general’;
 * the while left and right is from the padding in the styles of `.site` and `body.
   site`
 * try using a browser inspection tool (like Firefox’ web developer add-on or simialr)
   to find out where these spaces are coming from.
 * these styles seem to quick-fix the issue:
 *     ```
       body .site, .site { padding: 0; margin-top:24px; box-shadow: none; }
       .site-title, .site-description { display: none; }
       ```
   
 * but there are further problems with the fixed header image width, when you narrow
   the browser width.

 * Hi thank you for answering. I will try those codes and see if they’ll do the 
   trick. Do you recommend adding them to the bottom o fthe CSS or do they go somewhere
   else?

 * the styles should go to the bottom of style.css,
 * unless you find the actual lines and edit them.

 * OK thanks, I tried it but it doesn’t remove that white space to the left of the
   image. Can’t see what is compressing it like that.
