# CSS – image margin issue

 * I can’t get the CSS to work for image margins. The wrap-around text is too close
   to the pictures on my site, whether to the left or to the right. (Also at the
   bottom.)
 * This is what the CSS page says:
 * #content .post
    { padding:0 0 2em 0; border-bottom:#ddd 1px dashed; } img.floatLeft{
   float: left; margin: 10px; } img.floatRight { float: right; margin: 10px; } #
   content .post h2 { font-size: 1.4em; margin: 1em 0px 0px; letter-spacing:1px;
   font-weight:normal; }
 * I’ve looked at other comments in the WordPress forum, and — unless I misunderstood
   them — what I have in the CSS page should be enough for the images to have a 
   10-pixel margin (left or right).
 * But it’s not working…
 * I generally use Dreamweaver 4.0 to create my posts.
 * When I used the “hspace” and “vspace” in Dreamweaver just yesterday, Explorer
   recognized the image margin, but Firefox, Opera, and Netscape didn’t.
 * In any case, I’d like a solution that would make *all* images automatically appear
   with a margin, so I won’t have to change the html code for every single one of
   them.
 * Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

 * You can apply a CSS style to **all** images like this:
 * `img {
    border: 0; margin: 0; blah: blee; }
 * And it would help to have a link to your page.

 * Increate the specificy of those images, instead of img.floatRight, use #content.
   post img.floatRight

 * Aha! I tried the
    blah: blee method and it worked!
 * Seriously, thanks very much.
 * img {
    border: 0; margin: 10px; )
 * did work.
    And thank you “basketball” for your response, too.
