differntiae in padding and margin code example

Example 1: margin vs padding

Margin is on the outside of block elements, padding is on the inside.

Use margin to separate the block from things outside it
Use padding to move the contents away from the edges of the block.

Main differences:
- Vertical margins of adjacent items will overlap, padding will not
- Padding is included in the click region and background color/image,
but not the margin
