# PHP code for padding?

 * Hi,
 * I have inserted the following line of code into my Blog Page Template (blog-page​.
   php) to display a slideshow…
 * `<?php show_showtime ("id=5365|width=960|height=350"); ?>`
    _[Please post code
   snippets between backticks or use the code button.]_
 * However I want to add some padding so that there is more space between the slideshow
   and menu bar. Click [HERE](http://www.andrewnewey.com/blog) to see what I mean.
 * Does anyone know what I need to add to this line of code to create some top padding?
 * Thanks

 * Add padding or margins to #menu in your style.css file.

 *     ```
       #menu {
       margin-bottom: 10px;
       /* or padding-bottom: 10px; if margin doesn't work */
       }
       ```

 * Cheers K-Fella, but I don’t want to add padding to the bottom of the menu as 
   this will make the space between the menu & slideshow on the others pages too
   much. It is only the padding between the menu & slideshow on the blog page I 
   want increasing

 * Use conditional tags in your template. For instance:
 * `<div id="menu" <?php if ( is_page('blog') ) { echo 'class="blogmenu"' } ?>`
 * Then add a new style for .blogmenu with the extra margin/padding.
