 * I am trying to get my header to not have the top margin.
 * I can find the location of the code though to change it.
 *     ```
       media="screen"
       html {
       margin-top: 28px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Where is this located? I looked all over and never had trouble finding code before.
 * When checking with firebug and Chrome editor it points to…
 * mysite.com:39
 * ???
 * Any help is appreciated.
 * Thanks,
 * Nimo1

 * Do not edit the theme itself. First [create a child theme for your changes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).

 * Esmi,
 * I understand the whole using a child theme scenario.
    Not sure how that addresses
   my specific question though?

 * You need to have a custom child theme set up first.

 * Hi nimo1, look for `#branding` and change margin to 0.
