Why is there a thin white line at the top of my about page?

I can't find the problem.

workspace {

Is your normalize.css/reset.css linked to the <header> tag on that page?

To share your workspace, make a snapshot of it (use the icon that looks vaguely like a camera). Then post the the snapshot link.

The HEADER element is floated but never cleared, so the #WRAPPER DIV overlaps it. This isn't noticed on the index or contact pages because the sections in them are also floated. But on the about page the section is not floated, and one of the elements inside it has a top margin which creates the gap.

:point_right: You can eliminate the gap by either adding a clear:both to the #WRAPPER rule, or by floating the SECTION in the about page.
