 * I’m wondering how would I set my blog to only have margins to the left and right
   and not the top?
 * the current code is
 * #page {
    background-color: white; margin: 20px; auto; padding: 0; width: 744px;
   border: 1px solid #959596; }
 * I know the auto makes the margin on every side, but is there a way to delete 
   the top part? thanks

 * margin: 0 1em 3em 1em;
 * Gives 0 on top, 1em on right, 3em on bottom, and 1em on left.
 * It goes clockwise, and always starts from “noon”.
 * Alternatively, you may say:
    margin-top: 0;

 * well, I was giving an *example*. You have to set the values you want. And to 
   decide what value goes where, you use the “clock” analogy I gave.
