Unit 6 Website Development - Tutorial 2
2.8 Use margin to control space outside an element
Separate elements without changing their inside space.
What You Are Adding
Margin creates space outside an element. It is useful when headings, sections, images or cards are too close together. Margin does not add space inside the element itself.
CSS To Add To css/style.css
Add or adapt this CSS in the stylesheet you created in Tutorial 1. Keep the HTML structure from Tutorial 1 and use CSS to improve the presentation.
section {
margin-bottom: 28px;
}
.club-card {
margin-top: 16px;
}
