 * Theme: Twenty Twelve child
 * I am developing a site on my local WAMP server, and want to remove the top margin
   so the header touches the top of the page. Using firebug, I can click on the 
   html, `<div class="hfeed site" id="page">`, and see that the following CSS controls
   the top margin: `body .site {margin-top: 3.42857rem;}`. However, when I try to
   change this in my child theme stylesheet, save, and refresh…the top margin remains.
   Any ideas?
    Here are some methods I’ve tried: `body .site {margin-top: 0rem;}``
   body #page .site {margin-top: 0rem;}` `body .hfeed site #page {margin-top: 0rem;}``
   html body.home div#page.hfeed` <—(this is what firebug gives me when I copy CSS
   path)

 * Try:
 * `#page .hfeed {margin-top: 0 !important;)`
 * You are using a Child Theme?

 * Yes, I am using a child theme of twenty twelve. Also, I tried, `#page .hfeed {
   margin-top: 0 !important;}` ,but it didn’t work 🙁
