When I start a project, I always have a white padding (?) around the content on my web browser. Is this normal? The html tag takes up the entire width of my page, while the header, body, footer, etc have a small external spacing. The first tutorial I did has this white padding, but the Lake Tahoe tutorial does not. I don't remember if this was specifically addressed in the video.
Any tips would be appreciated!

Do a quick google search on the css normalize file, copy and paste that in, and maybe read up a little on the concept while you're at it. Good luck!

I appreciate the reply!
