Courses Plus Student 998 PointsAdd 10px of padding to the top and bottom of the copyright, with no padding on the left or right.
I put #copyright{ padding: 10px 10px 0 0;} but my code is completely wrong I guess. How do you know which is the top and bottom?

The padding and margin shorthands have the same kind of syntax for which one gets applied to top, left, bottom and right, for example with margin:
margin: top right bottom left;
Want to know an easy way to remember this? Top Right Bottom Left. Just think, if you don't use that shorthand, you'll be in TRBL!
(cheesy, I know)

margin: 10px 0;
This would be 10px top and bottom, 0px left and right.

Here on the forum we try to give help not answers.
