Hi:

Because I have zero vision, I am unable to check my understanding of CSS by 
trying it and seeing how it looks. Otherwise, I could probably answer my 
own questions by trial and error.

You mentioned padding and margins. In my mind, they sound sort of like the 
same thing but I guess not.
Here is my guess and you can straighten me out......
I can set up a border. Then the padding will be the space between the 
border and the edges of the monitor.
I can also set up margins and that will be the space inside the borders 
before the actual text.

It is almost like 2 margins one margin outside the border and the other 
inside the border.

Now what of my understanding is wrong and which is correct???

Thanks.

Norm
