 * I want to remove the padding around my header so the header image is flush with
   the background on top, right and left. I can do this by removing the padding 
   in the wrapper, but this results in losing the padding in the content area of
   the blog.
 * I was able to get around this by making the background color of the header the
   same html color and by making the header image wider, these changes fixed the
   top and right sides, but I still have a 20px padding on the left side of my header.
 * How can I get rid of padding on my header without losing the padding on the content
   section?

 * Try adding `margin-left: -20px;` to:
 *     ```
       #branding img {
           border: medium none;
           clear: both;
           display: block;
       }
       ```
   
 * in style.css.

 * Awesome! That did itT Thanks so much …
 * Now, I’ve got one other issue though – I just checked to see how it looked in
   Firefox, and for some reason all my content is over to the right outside of the
   wrapper …. ugh, what’s going on? Can’t find where/why this is happening? It wasn’t
   a result of adding the code you directed, it was something I did when I was trying
   to figure it out before …

 * Ah! I thought the design was intended to be a horizontally scrolling one! 🙂
 * Start by sorting out the [markup errors](http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftheitgirlproject.com%2F).
   Then move onto the [CSS errors](http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css3&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftheitgirlproject.com%2F).
