Comment on CSS Tricks: Limiting .text width by pica-ae
sorry for another comment, just realized that when i add padding it pads out a border around the text, is there any way to only add padding on the right hand side for example? (the text is already in a good position, it just ventures a little far to the right and overlaps with something in the background)
yeah, you can apply different padding for each side of a box 
will limit it to the right side only.
an alternative is write it for all 4 sides in one line, starting at the top and going round clockwise:
padding-right: 20px; will limit it to the right side only.
an alternative is write it for all 4 sides in one line, starting at the top and going round clockwise:
padding: 0px 20px 0px 0px; awesome, you are the best, thank you!! saved me
