CSS Margin
==========
The CSS margin properties define the space around elements.
The margin clears an area around an element (outside the border). The margin does not have a background color, and is completely transparent.
The top, right, bottom, and left margin can be changed independently using separate properties. A shorthand margin property can also be used,
to change all margins at once.
