 * Hello:
 * For my website above, I would like to decrease the padding so that the entire
   display of every webpage shifts upwards about 20 – 50 pixels. I just think the
   content of every page is sitting too low and there is too much empty space above
   my header.
 * I tried to go into my CSS Stylesheet and put in some code that said “top-padding:-
   50px”, but the negative pixel values don’t move the display at all (although 
   the positives move it down further).
 * Any help would be very much appreciated!

 * There are some CSS definition you have to update:
 * .header { } /* decrease the height */
    .head_contact { } /* decrease margin top*/.
   logo {} /* move the top position */
 * I hope this helps.
