Always clockwise. If one to all. If two, two opposite starting from top. If three top right side common buttom. If four clockwise from top. This is how I remember
Thank you, I've just been switching the values around until it works for the past 8 years. Kept forgetting to just look it up and keep it as a stickynote on my desk
You can always use the long-form: padding-top, padding-right, padding-bottom, padding-left. There can be advantages to using the long-form as well if you don't want to override some parent style by accident.
I generally prefer using em (e.g. 7px is ~0.3em) rather than px for most padding and margins. That way, if someone enlarges the page, the padding/margins scale up too and keeps the presentation looking nice and spaced out properly without expending any extra effort. I use px in select (aka rare) locations where something needs to remain 'x' pixels from a specific edge regardless of text size.
