Skeleton boilerplate question. im stupid :)

Hi Guys,

probably a simple question ... or maybe not. I don't know but i can't work out the solution.

here we go. in the picture below. im trying to push the grey div over by using the class="offset-by-three" rule. that works fine. However, what it does is add padding into the div creating the space you can see, which i obviously don't want. I know why it adds the padding as that's the way its written in the css, shouldnt they have used margin ??? Any way, am i being a bit silly in my html because this seems like a real slip to me. 960 doesn't do this as im aware ?

Are you adding the offset-by-three class to the grey div or to it's parent? My guess is create a parent element and add the offset class to it.

ahhh. to the grey div. ill try some parent techniques.
