I'm working on "How to make a website" track and i have a question about my header positioning

here is my css code for trying to reposition my header in my site -

header {
  float: left;
  margin: 0 0 30px 0;
  padding: 5px 0 0 0;
  width: 100%;
}

...I've put the code in, saved my workspace and refreshed multiple times and the white empty space is not moving from the top of the header as it should be.

I checked my "index.html" code as well and there are no errors in the heading element.

Joshua,

Surround your code with three backticks, left of the numeral 1 (see the Markdown Cheatsheet below). I see that you have 5px of padding at the top of your header, could that be what you are seeing?
