margin : The margin clears an area around an element
css
margin-top: 5px; /* This means it will add 5px to the margin-top. / margin-top : -5px / This means it will subtract 5px to the margin top meaning the area around the element will decrease */
hope that help. If not go back to the css foundations course and look at the video again. You can always go to http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_margin.asp to find out more information.
