How to remove blank space on top of page?

Question

I'm redoing my entire website, because I'm trying to get away from my "just-learning" style of page. One thing I noticed was that there is a large blank gap that shows up as soon as the page has finished loading. Here is a link to my website. Upon using inspect element in chrome, I see that the white space is composed of

"
    &nbsp;"

characters. This happens in all browsers available for me to test it in.

Edit1: In an attempt to show that I tried, I've tried setting the body in the css to margin: 0 and removing all css that is related to the top.

Are you creating your website in notepad or an application such as Dreamweaver? — JSuar, Jan 02 '14 at 20:30
Could you post your code without commented out sections and other garbage that's in your page's source? — Dunno, Jan 02 '14 at 20:30
You don't have to do that: you can post the relevant code bits here — Dunno, Jan 02 '14 at 20:33
I needed to remove the 100+ lines of useless comments that I thought might be useful later. threefouronesixonethree how might I fix it? — joeybab3, Jan 02 '14 at 20:38

Without code it is hard to determine... you could try a css reset on the body...

body{margin:0;padding:0;}

Also, after you edited the code, i see a secondary } after your body edit.

your html is not valid. this was prepared  

table in html is written like this:

<table> <!-- start table -->
     <tr> <!-- start table row -->
           <td></td> <!-- table cell-->
     </tr> <!-- end table row -->
</table> <!-- end table -->
