Help w CSS: remove stubborn site container padding

my site: http://www.democracychronicles.com/

the margin above the title in grey should be 0. How can I do this? I can't figure it out or find the correct instruction

Are you trying to flush it straight to the top?

yes absolutely. that is my exact goal!

Look for this in your style sheet:

.site-container

change the margin to this:

margin: 0 5px;

I'm sorry but I didn't mention I use News Pro child theme. What you suggested didnt work also. I changed the section below to this:

/* Site Containers
--------------------------------------------- */

.site-container {
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
margin: 0 5px;
max-width: 1285px;
}

.news-pro-landing .site-container {
max-width: 1285px;
margin: 0 5px;

You should only change it where I indicated. If you have any caching plugins activated - clear the cache.

what you told me isnt working. The .site-container appears 7 times in the News Pro Theme: Stylesheet (style.css) and I assumed you meant there, in the place I posted.

[democracychronicles]

I refresh all caches everytime

[AnitaC]

It looks like the original code I gave you worked, at least on my end in Firefox.

where did you put the code? I really need help, can you elaborate?

[AnitaC]

I really don't understand why you don't see it. You placed the code in your theme, I see it there now.

margin: 0 5px;

... is showing up there. You should clear the cache and your browser cache.
