No, seriously. I love whitespace. In fact, when I arrive at a site and see that the talented developer has left me enough whitespace to park my cursour neatly in around the walls of type. I get excited, it’s like coming home to a house of fresh baking. So excited that I may even whip out my VoodooPad and save that for later. This is one of the easiest things anyone can do to instantly improve the usability and visual design. and It’s simple: just add in comfortable margins for your users, it makes it so much easier to digest the content on the page. just go * div {padding:15px;} seriously. Just do it. You’ll love me later. Ok maybe not to that extreme, but at least take your generic #col1 selector and add at least 10 pixels of glory to it.
