CSS How to Make a Website Styling Web Pages and Navigation Create a Horizontal List of Links

Padding help! Setting top/bottom to 15px, and left/right to 10 px.... margin: 15px 10px 15px 10px; correct order?

margin: Top Right Bottom Left;

I thought my order was correct to set margin but apparently its not. Which order should it be in?

css/main.css
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

nav ul {
  margin: 0 10px 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px 15px 10px;

}

h1 {
  font-family: Changa One, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

It's the li elements in your nav you need to give 15px top/bottom and 10px left/right? A bit of information about what exactly it is you need as a result would be helpful.

I think you might have padding where you're supposed to have margin. Otherwise, yes your order is correct.

Why did I not notice it said padding and not margin? Common mistakes!
