Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsIt might be because your floated header is not cleared.
You should have the wrapper div clear the floated header.
Add clear: both to your existing wrapper rule.
#wrapper{
clear: both;
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0 5%;
}

Courses Plus Student 24,645 Pointstry adding this to your body:
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
Wayne Durett
Courses Plus Student 985 Pointstried that and nothing .still have that space on top of about page
Joshua Briley
Courses Plus Student 24,645 PointsI put everything into JSBin and don't see the padding issue. Can you post this in a workspace and share the link with us? It will make troubleshooting the situation infinitely easier.
Wayne Durett
Courses Plus Student 985 PointsYes here is the link. I fixed padding issue. I need to know how to get facebook and twitter icons back on top of my background image. Thank you in advance.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Wayne,
Are you still having this issue with your social icons? I think you posted your workspaces link and not the preview url and I believe that it's only active while you're logged in.

Courses Plus Student 985 PointsThank you my friend, I been struggling with this all morning. Can't believe I didn't think of it. I had just used it two days ago to fix another issue. I appreciate it and have a good day.
