hi i am a newbie at css. i am trying to make a simple site with a css. i have 2 problems.
1. i have a header image and a css menu. the header (website logo) comes first, then the css menu. now there is a fairly large gap between the logo and menu. how do i fix this.
2. the catagories and archives have dropped to the bottom of the page. how do i increase the left margin and bring them to the top left hand corner of the screen?

position: relative;
top:-5px; (or depending on how big your gap is, adjust value)
