Hi Rob - you apply the :first-child pseudo class to the element you
want to target, not the parent whose child you want to target. e.g.
div#sidebar p:first-child { margin-top: 0; }
However, for simplicity's sake, and to make it work in our old CSS
nemesis Internet Explorer, have you considered just removing the top
margin off all <p> elements and setting the bottom margin to what you
want it to be?
I believe there was a thread about this recently about how IE treats
margins. I'm not sure if it's relevant here, but

You may find you have better luck using on of the many css reset files
out there just to get everything on a more even keel before you apply
your own rules explicitly.
Cheers, Tim
