 * Hi,
 * On my blog page I’m unable to amend the text margin for posts. I have added CSS
   to put a border around the text, but the text is pushed right up against the 
   border on the left hand side…
 * If I use CSS to try and amend the margin, it just moves the margin of the border
   and the text is still pushed right up against it on the left hand side.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks
