 * Hey, how can I set a padding around the text of a button? Basically, I just want
   to button to look bigger on the page, but not the text of the button. Thanks!

 * you can approach this in several different ways – but if you are not familiar
   with css then the easiest is to add html code for spaces ` ` before and 
   after your button text
 * `[su_button size="1"] Click me [/su_button]`
    becomes `[su_button size="1"] &
   nbsp; Click me     [/su_button]`
 * **or using styles** – when you set up your button you will see an area called
   Class – add to this btnWidth (whatever you chose to call it)
 * so the code becomes
    `[su_button class="btnWidth"]Button text[/su_button]`
 * then you will need to add a custom class to your style sheet
    .btnWidth { width:
   300px; }
 * You should read up on wordpress custom style sheets
