# Problem with image margins

 * When I first set up my WordPress page a couple months ago, I went in and manually
   changed the margins and paddings around all the pictures to give me a bit of 
   buffer room (rather than having the text jammed right up next to the picture).
   However, today as I was posting, any images i add to my page no longer have any
   padding or margin space around them. The text is once again butting up against
   my images, but only in my NEW posts. The old ones are still fine. I didn’t change
   anything in my style.css file. Any help for this problem would be appreciated.
   Thanks!

 * on the site in your profile? They all look alike to me, in ff 1.5 atleast. How
   bout providing a link to post where they look right (to you) and a link to a 
   post where they look wrong (to you)? I think that would help alot.

 * Hi there. Sorry about that – the bad post was published as “private” for some
   reason. I fixed that. The bad post is the Ashley Judd post:

 * The good post is the Amber post not too far down below it:

 * dont compare the images. Look at the text next to the images. One is inside a
   div, one isnt and is instead encased in `<p>` tags.
 * You can either alter your CSS since whichever one is working (I closed the pages
   so i dont know which) is being obviously being called like
 * `abc.zyx { ...'}`
 * to something that isnt so inclusive:
 * `.zyx { ...'}`
 * (both div’s and p’s that are of that “zyx” class get the same thing, follow? 
   Or you can just use whichver one works, `<div>` or `<p>`.
 * Anyone using firefox needs this: [http://slayeroffice.com/tools/modi/v2.0/modi_help.html](http://slayeroffice.com/tools/modi/v2.0/modi_help.html)
 * one click and you can mouseover anything in a page to check CSS classes/declarations.
