Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 435 PointsWhen adding a new h3 header in my contact.html, it seems to add some blank space on the top of my website.
In this video, I followed along all the way until the end and realized there was blank space at the top of my contact page when I previewed it. I broke down the steps and saw that when adding the <h3>General Information</h3> to my first section element, it would add the space. When I deleted the h3 element, the padding would go away.

h3 {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 435 PointsYup that'll work. Just thought it was weird that the video didn't do this step, but there was no padding in Nick's example. Thanks!
