For the life of me I cannot figure out what is wrong. I have been working on this for 24 hours. I have built a site. Not for any reason. Just trying to design to sharpen my skills and start building them. The site looks the way I want almost. In I.E 7 it looks good but every other browser it adds white space to the top of the browser. check it in i.e 7. that’s how it’s suppose to look. Now look in opera or google chrome and you see the white space at the top. I added an unordered list with the list style of inline. When I do that, the white space pops up. I Don’t get it. I can’t figure out why. It only does it with the list. That’s where I want my nav to go. I need a fresh pair of eyes please.

*{margin:0; padding:0;}

i added this to your page to see if it would work, and it fixed it, but you might have to tweak other stuff
