CSS issues with wordpress

Question

Having some bizarre problems with my CSS in a custom Wordpress theme. For one, the tag has a margin at the top, even though i specified margin-top:0 in my CSS, I checked the computed style and sure enough, margin-top is set to 0, and yet the problem persists.

Similarly I cannot center any tags. I noticed in the Wordpress Post Editor when you center something it attaches a CSS class "aligncenter" so I created this in my CSS, but to no avail. Again, when I check the elements in the inspector, all of my CSS is present, but none of it is working correctly.

Am I missing something? Does Wordpress have some default values I'm not aware of?

I should note that with the first problem I fixed it by setting position to relative with a negative top value but obviously this is not an ideal solution.

Try adding a CSS Reset to the stylesheet.

Also, Wordpress can be a pain to Style.
