Margin

In CSS we can use margin to make space around the outside of the border of something. This can be the border of an image, or the border of a textbox. Margin can use percentages or pixels to provide a measurement. This is usually really useful for helping organise things on a page, or making a bit of space between the elements so the page is easier to read. Here’s a visual of what a margin actually looks like:

Example

If I wanted to add some space around a paragraph of text on my webpage, it would look something like this:

p {
    margin: 10px; 
}

A neat feature of margin is that I can specify what part of the margin (top, right, bottom, left) I want to change. So the design I’ve demonstrated above, can also look like this!

p { 
    margin-top: 10px; 
    margin-left: 10px; 
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    margin-right: 10px; 
}

If you want to know more about the margin feature, you can go to the links at MDN Web Docs or w3schools. Both of these sites give excellent examples of how the margin property works, with plenty of examples on how to use it, and how the feature looks on a website.
