http://teamtreehouse.com/library/websites/build-a-simple-website/styling-content/finishing-the-css-2
I've copied the text exactly to create padding 10px to the top and bottom and 0px to the right and left. Every time I do that and hit "check work," it gives me "bummer, now task one is no longer correct. Task one is
I check task one again without the padding and it again says it's correct and allows me to go forward to task to. I enter:
#copyright {
border-top: 8px solid #2A0400
padding: 10px 0px
}
with AND without putting the ; after 0px and neither allows me forward. What am I doing wrong?

#copyright {
border-top: 8px solid #2A0400;
padding: 10px 0px;
}

Hello, its just a general comment, **try do not add (px) for 0 values**.
Its not a big problem, but more validate, and the px or any unit when it comes after 0 values it sometimes and when you use jquery animation it will make some problem with some browsers. Cheers.

515 PointsIt was the 0px; by the way... thought I tried that but I guess I hadn't.

I mean don`t use the px with 0 values; just say : padding:0;
Its a general info. as I mentioned before, and we help each other and share what we know as possible as we can :) .
