i guess what im asking is: can i use positive margins to remove white space?? Versus using negative margins to remove white space? sorry for trolling and thanks for any help

Set the margin of the H1 element to 0

To decrease the stretch of the border, you could give the h1 a specific width. You could also give the h1 a property of:

display: inline-block;

Then remove the negative margin on the span.I'm not aware of any way to decrease the white space with a positive margin, in a way that I think you hope for. However, I think it would be possible to make the h1 width smaller by adding a positive margin to the left or right of the h1/header. That would decrease the white space.
