So when I try to pad my pet image:

{padding: 25px; border-style:solid;},

it somehow only pads the bottom and the right sides of the image, instead of all four sides equally;

Strangely, {padding: 25px; border-style:solid;} works just fine.

Help?

Tell me if this works for you. {padding: 25px; border-style:solid; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center;}

oh it worked, thanks :D
