what is the purpose of margin in this video?

Why do we need margin for #logo in this video?

I coded my logo with and without the 'margin:0', and they still look the exact same. Then what is the point of putting 'margin:0' for the logo in this video?

I believe they are just trying to teach how margin works on a website.

In this case, the default margin must be 0, so changing it to 0 probably does nothing.

Hi,

Try to set it to 10px and then to 20px. The result is really weird. 10px or 20px gives the same result. I can't understand why.. ???!?

Plus, if you add some background color to the a elements, all a elements change color but the "Nick Pettit" and "Designer" ones.

Does anyone know what's going one?

thanks in advance
