How do I remove extra white border at top of page to match the instructor's page?

In following the exercise, my page is left with a border at the top of the page. However, I cannot figure out why. I want to make sure I haven't done anything wrong, or how I can fix it.

See if

* { margin: 0; padding: 0;}

Fixes it

No, this did not seem to make a difference, but it got me looking. I found that I made a mistake typing in the following:

# gallery {
margin 0;
padding 0;
list-style: none;
}

As you can see, I'm missing the colons for margin and padding. Adding them, fixed it. Thanks!

Did you apply the appropriate styles to the header?

header{
float: left;
margin:  0 0 30px 0;
padding: 5px 0 0 0;
width: 100%;
}
