I don't edit CSS very often, and almost every time I need to go and google the CSS box model to check whether padding is inside the border and margin outside, or vice versa. (Just checked again and padding is inside).
Does anyone have a good way of remembering this? A little mnemonic, a good explanation as to why the names are that way round ...

Border. The border is the layer of the CSS box model that sits between margin and padding. By default, the border does not have any width, but you can set one with the CSS border property.
When three values are specified, the first margin applies to the top, the second to the right and left, the third to the bottom. When four values are specified, the margins apply to the top, right, bottom, and left in that order (clockwise).
The main difference between CSS padding and margin is that padding is the space between the element's content and border (within the element itself), while margin is the space around the border of an element.
The CSS margin properties are used to create space around elements, outside of any defined borders. With CSS, you have full control over the margins. There are properties for setting the margin for each side of an element (top, right, bottom, and left).
When working with CSS finally drives you mad the padded cell that they will put you in has the padding on the inside of the walls.
