Blueprint & Padding

Hi Guys,
I have searched every where with no luck. Could someone please help.
I am looking to find the correct way to add padding to my text.
I am using the blueprint theme & Drupal6

If i have a two column layout center-col = span-18 and right-col = span-6 my text in the center col is hard up against the left hand side of the column. What is the corect way to make the text padded?

If i add the class box it pads but then my layout breaks so i need to change the center col to span-17 this just seems a little weird.

Can anyone please help with the correct answer.

Tx
Gecko

Gecko - Easiest thing to do

Gecko -

Easiest thing to do will be to put your text in a container within the [div class=span-18] - like a [p] or whatnot, and then put a margin on that interior container. That way ensures that you are not modifying the box model which has the span-18 class on it.

hope that helps,
jon
