Site = http://globalbusinessconnections.com/wpsitegbc/

If you look at the site, the test posts in the main content area – especially the ‘Another Post with Everything In It’ post – the text and images go all the way to the left or right red boarder.

Below is the code from the style.css:

#content {<br /> width: 757;<br /> height: 523;<br /> border-top: 2px #FF0033 solid;<br /> background: url("images/content-lt-blue-background-1-j.jpg") no-repeat center top transparent;<br /> color:#333333;<br /> float: right;<br /> }

I tried addling padding and margin, but they added it to the outside of the image, which made the content area bigger and screwed up the layout.

How can I make it the post’s "text" and "photos" stay within (less than) 10px of each wall/boarder of the content area?
