body margin

Hi! I'm new and I already have a question.

I want to publish something in blogger (as my "layout"/"template"), but the codes I have for margins doesn't work.

I'm using:

Code:

<body leftmargin="20">

I uploaded it to a free host and worked, but in blogger it doesn't work.

Does anybody knows some other way to do it in blogger?

Thank you!

Chances are that its being overridden in the CSS. You can change the stylesheet, or override the stylesheet in the html tag:

<body style="margin-left:20px;">

Although I didn't quite understand the part when you said "You can change the stylesheet, or override the stylesheet in the html tag" ... it worked!

Thank you!

(I've always wanted to find a forum like this one... I'm so happy!

The stylesheet (the .css file) controls the layout of the html page. You will usually find a link to stylesheet or find it written in between the <head></head> html tags.

Whenever you write styles inline with your html tags, you will override the style written in the stylesheet.
