>>{margin:0 10px 10px;}<<

I'm sorry - it was always my understanding that using this method was 
incorrect.  When I was learning CSS, in the beginning, it was always 
impressed upon me that using "margin:0" was appropriate because it would 
cover all sides.  Using "margin:2px 3px;" was appropriate, because you'd 
be covering left/right and top/bottom.  Using "margin:2px 3px 4px 5px" 
was correct, because it gave each individual side something to work from.

But using "margin:1px 2px 3px" was incorrect.  I can't recall exactly 
*why*, but I always had the impression that it was because it was 
(pardon the term I'm gonna use) half-assed.

If I'm wrong, I'd *love* to know, because it's always been my impression 
that using 3 numbers is never the way to do it.  Like I said, I don't 
recall *where* I picked this up, or why it's wrong to use this method - 
it's been so long ago - but I'm always open to being corrected :)
