CSS How to Make a Website Responsive Web Design and Testing Adjust the Profile Page and Header

Large amount of space underneath text in header

I have a large amount of space underneath the text in my header and I'm hoping that someone can help me work out why this is happening. I've tried making adjustments to the main.css header, but can't seem to find the issue.

This is what it currently looks like: http://s1272.photobucket.com/user/ianmcvicar86/media/HeaderIssue_zps424fdc1e.png.html?sort=3&o=0

Any help much appreciated!

Try to change your header h2’s margin-bottom to 20px instead of 20%.

Maybe that helps? I sure hope so!

Fixed! Thanks very much :)!

I believe it get’s fixed in later movies.

Can you post your code, maybe there’s something odd going on?

Thanks! Below are both CSS codes:

Well that went a bit wrong.... sorry

Haha, happened to mee too when I posted my code for the first time :)

Where do you write your code, on a code editor? I can’t find anything strange in your code. Did you save your file and reload the browser?

I’m a newbie too so I’m maybe not best guy to give advice. Anyone else have opinions or able to lend a helping hand for two up and coming superstars of a coding world? :)

Glad I could help!
