 * Via CSS in your theme. Look at your source, find what html tag is used for images
   and modify the relevant CSS in your theme. It’s probably img.
 * Use both or either padding and margin; they go top, right, bottom, left. Example:
 * img {
    margin: 10px 45px 10px 35px; padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px; }
 * Or you can go with inline styles:
 *     ```
       <img src="http://whatever/img.jpg" style="padding-right:10px;padding-bottom:10px;">
       ```
