 * I can’t seem to remove the white border around my custom header image. I set 
   the margins to 0 and that removed some of the padding but there is still a white
   border that won’t go away no matter what size I make the image. What do I need
   to do?

 * The hgroup around the image, site title, and description is slightly wider/taller
   than the custom header image, and it has a white background. You can add the 
   following to your child theme’s style.css or the custom CSS plugin to size it
   to fit exactly around your header image:
 *     ```
       #masthead hgroup {
          width: 650px; /* or whatever the exact width of your image is */
          height: 250px; /* or whatever the exact height of your image is */
       }
       ```
   
 * I recommend using [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com) for CSS work–makes it much
   easier.
