I am trying to remove the spacing around the teal box in the header. I want the bottom line to match up with the bottom of the teal box. Here is a picture of what I am trying to achieve what my goal is, followed by my code:
.
#wrap {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 960px;
text-align: center;
}
body {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 960px;
}
#firstName {
color: white;
background-color: #4aaaa5;
width: 300px;
height: 85px;
float: left;
font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
line-height: 250%;
text-align: center;
}
#menu {
color: #777777;
background-color: white;
width: 300px;
height: 85px;
font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
float: right;
line-height: 125px;
}
hr {
margin: 0, 0, 0, 0;
clear: both;

Welcome to my portfolio page. I would first like to say that I appreciate you taking the time to learn a little bit about who I am. I would describe myself as someone who has a "whatever it takes to get the job done right" outlook. For someone reason,
it is something I was born with. No matter how large the barrier is to complete the job, I will get my project to the finish line! For example, before my wife and I got married, we needed to build a substantial budget to put on a wedding without
depleting our savings. I told my girlfriend at the time, wife now, I will find a way to fund this whole wedding in 90 days. I accomplished that goal with 10 days to spare, $25,000. It all started with buying and selling 1100 pairs of women's shoes
in 72 hours. Check out the pictures HERE.
</p>
<p>
Something that sets me apart as a developer is, I look at things as an entrepreneur. I have founded 2 companies, bootstrapped them to scale, and I have had successful exits. I always try and build things in a manner that fits the project. I want to see
my code help your business scale.

First, you should move your <header> to inside your <body>. Second, you can remove the margin for #firstName by adding margin: 0 to the selector:
#firstName {
margin: 0;
}
Then, you can use Flexbox on #menu to center your menu vertically:
#menu {
/* Adds Flexbox to element */
display: flex;
/* Aligns the menu's children horizontally, putting equal
spacing between each child */
justify-content: space-between;
/* Aligns the menu's children vertically */
align-items: center;
}
#wrap {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 960px;
text-align: center;
}
body {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 960px;
}
#firstName {
/* Remove margin from the div */
margin: 0;
color: white;
background-color: #4aaaa5;
width: 300px;
height: 85px;
float: left;
font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
line-height: 250%;
text-align: center;
}
#menu {
color: #777777;
background-color: white;
width: 300px;
height: 85px;
font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
float: right;
line-height: 125px;
/* Add Flexbox to your menu*/
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
align-items: center;
}
hr {
margin: 0, 0, 0, 0;
clear: both;

Just starting out on html, how do I center the 'Webpage' Logo and remove margin to the right of that logo so the 'Home' can be in line to perform like a nav-bar. I added an image at the end of the code so you can look at the margin I'm trying to get rid of (don't know if that's even possible!).

Add flex and align-items: center; to .container.
Remove the height on .container and use padding instead.
Remove float from .tasks and use margin-left: auto;.
Then you can adjust spacing between the a's using margin-right: on .tasks a
body {
margin: 0;
background-color: rgb(36, 37, 37);
}
.container {
padding-top: 3px;

I don't know if this solution is neat enough, but you can fix it by adjusting its line-height.

So I'm working on an assignment that builds on itself at the end of every chapter in my textbook, and my professor took points off for the header image and the footer not being aligned correctly with the main content of my page, but I can't seem to figure out how to fix this problem.

I think I formatted that correctly (first time using this site).
Alright... So there's a lot of issues with your CSS and you also have invalid HTML. HTML requires a body tag... Which you don't have. Browsers were probably adding this because it's something they do. They take invalid html and guess what the developer was trying to build.
So first of, keep in mind, the base of all html pages is as following:
<html>
<head>
<title>title</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Next up, there was a lot stuff going on with CSS. The biggest thing I saw involved floats. Floats are a way to easily make a mess. They have their uses; but, usually there is a better way now a days.
Now looking at your alignment problem at its roots...
From what I understand, you want your header and footer to be the same width as the main content and be the same distance from the left of the screen.
You setup your main content to use #wrapper div and did aligment with that. This is fine. The problem is how you set stuff up is more directed to a webpage where the header and the footer are glued to top/bottom of the page, and full up the width completely.
<html>
<head>
<title>title</title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
</header>
<main>
<div id="wrapper">
//This guy had the common margin auto with a width percentage.
</div>
<footer>
</footer>
</main>
</body>
</html>
Having the alignment of the page set on the wrapper means it can't really be applied to the footer and header that well. It will get really messy. Of course this isn't a problem if you the header and footer just take up all the width at the top and bottom of the page.
What did I do to fix this?
First off, let's clean up your HTML. It would make more sense to break your page into 3 pieces. Header, Main, Footer. Right now your footer is inside your main.
So what I did is this:
<html>
<head>
<title>title</title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
</header>
<main>
<div id="wrapper">
//This guy had the common margin auto with a width percentage.
</div>
</main>
<footer>
</footer>
</body>
</html>
Next up, I moved the alignment. So instead of having this rule:
#wrapper {
width: 80%;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
background-color: #F5F5F5;
}
I have these rules:
header, main, footer {
width: 80%;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
#wrapper{
background-color: #F5F5F5;
}
By doing this, we the alignment rules is being applied to the 3 elements inside the body tag. I do NOT apply to this the body tag itself; because, we should avoid changing the width of the body.
Finally, you also had some weird padding on the main element:
main {
padding-left: 2em;
padding-right: 2em;
}
I don't know why this is here; but, I moved that to the body.
body {
padding-left: 2em;
padding-right: 2em;
}
By placing it on the body it will affect the header, main and footer.
Those are the changes to fix alignment. In addition to those changes I removed various rules and statements that might have been causing issues or not... I do not believe these will have any impact on your page; but, just in case if they were required for some unknown reason you should take a look at your requirements and ensure everything is still correct.
Here is the JSFiddle
I have watched tutorials and checked on this site but no matter what I do I
can't get my page to be responsive for mobile. I want the image on top and
the text in a nice paragraph below. I am new to html and css, I don't know
any others. The code I'm adding is the original before I tried to make it
responsive.

Now for the right solution without framework use #media Queries. Do your homework here .
Now for you the easy Solution to get this responsive is looking into using an HTML framework ,such as the famous Bootstrap, which you wil have to learn allot to fully understand the power behind it but Bootstrap has good documentation to get you going.
You're gonna have to fix your code (html stuff) first and then learn to use media queries.
With media queries, you can target different devices and write specific css that applies to only those devices.
https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_mediaqueries.asp
DO NOT LEARN A FRAMEWORK JUST YET
You should build your knowledge of HTML and CSS first and have a firm understanding of both of them before learning any framework. This will insure that when you learn any framework, you'll be able to make the framework work the way you want.. If you start relying on a framework just yet, you will work according to the framework
Like a previous answer
You're gonna have to fix your code (html stuff) first
But, if for now you don't want to invest a lot of time learning about media queries or code a few rules in CSS, I'd suggest you use a framework and skip the design part, while still making your page look minimally presentable with a tidy look.
I recommend you give a look at Tacit CSS framework. It's ideal for people with zero CSS and design skills and it doesn't involve creating CSS rules from the ground up, you just worry about your HTML code and you need to include Tacit's CSS file.
In order for an image to be considered as a solid object in css it must have the "display: block;" attribute. You might need to also set the same style property to the text paragraph.
Try the following:
.float-img {
float: left;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 5px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-top: 10px;
padding: 2px;
border: none;
border-color: #ffb6c1ff;
display: block;
}
Explanation:
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_display
Take a look at bootstrap http://getbootstrap.com/ it is html/css framework for making responsive websites. Check out how to make a grid layout.
You can dig into media queries yourself but that is not exactly needed if you use a framework https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Media_Queries/Using_media_queries
Use a CSS framework. I will recommend bootstrap CSS framework. It will handle all of that for you. UIkit and Foundation are good alternatives too.
I am currently working on a practice example website as part of my Computer Science GCSE course. I am having real trouble with the navigation CSS. The website is very much in progress, so I know it's not great, but here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>The Cotswold Jeweller</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../Assets/css/normalize.css" media="screen" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../Assets/css/main.css" media="screen" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../Assets/css/grid.css" media="screen" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="head">
<h1>The Cotswold Jeweller</h1>
</div>
<div class="nav_contain">
<ul class="nav">
<li><h2>Home</h2></li>
<li><h2>Services</h2></li>
<li><h2>Location</h2></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="wrapper">

And here is the CSS:
body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.wrapper {
width: 1100px;
margin: auto;
}
.head {
text-align: center;
font-family: "Times New Roman";
font-size: 32px;
}
.nav li h2 a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
font-family: "Times New Roman";
width: 366px;
float: left;
}
.nav {
list-style: none;
width: 1100px;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
}
.nav_contain {
border-top: 5px #990000 solid;
border-bottom: 5px #990000 solid;
}
I would like to have the navigation bar between, the two borders of the navigation container, but they are not aligned properly. Please can you provide a solution below. Thank You.
You can add overflow: auto to the .nav container. This will prevent its height from collapsing because it only contains floated elements.
.nav {
list-style: none;
width: 1100px;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
overflow: auto;
}
Alternatively, adding this to .nav_contain has a similar effect.
Add this
.nav li{
display:inline-block;
}
and remove the h2 tags.
You may also have to reduce the size of the "a" tags to get them to stay in a line on screen. I'm on a 1280px monitor at the moment and I had to reduce their width to 300px.
Another alternative is to just remove the li tags completely. The links should still display side by side, and because your borders are outside of ".nav" then they should contain it.
If it doesn't work, just let me know.
generally try to avoid fixed values like
width: 1100px; //(1)
you can replace it for example by
width: 90%; //(2)
the (1) is destroying your site on other resolution than yours. Use (2) to avoid it.
