To set the margin to 0 for the top and bottom but 10 for left and right you can format it like this:
margin: 0 10px 0 10px;
The best way to remember it is that it is Top Left Bottom Right or TLBR

margin-left: 10px;
margin-right:10px;
not specifying margin-top and margin-bottom means they will be zero. Please correct me if I'm wrong on that assumption!
