# Adding padding to images?

 * I need to be able to add about 10px worth of padding to images so the text does
   not butt up against the photo. Right now I am centering the text which is ok 
   for now but it is not the look I want. I also want to add a frame or basic border
   to the photos (nothing fancy, just something that defines the photo a bit better).
   Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

 * Once you see the image in the editor, click on it. you’ll get an overlay with
   2 icons, one looking like a landscape picture, and one is the “do not enter” 
   or something street sign.
    Click on the landscape. Then, at the top of the popup,
   you’ll see “extended settings”. here you can set the horiz. and vert. padding.
 * If you want to do it properly, you’ll need to change to html-mode and add this
   to the image tag:
    `style="padding-right:10px;padding-bottom:10px;"` That’s for
   a left-aligned image.

 * well in 2.7 when I do that, it has a section for advance settings and in there
   you can adjust the size and add a border (which I also wanted to do) but I dont
   see anywhere to extend the padding so there is a 10px invisible bumper to keep
   the image from being too close to the words….
