title: Adding a margin to a single list item in a horizontal list
body: <p>Is it possible to add a margin to the top of a <strong>certain item</strong> in a horizontal unordered list?</p>
  
  <p>I've made a cloud-themed navigation bar, but I don't want all the clouds to be all in one straight line, so I'm trying to make it so they aren't all in one line.</p>
  
  <p>None of these answers have worked for me, it doesn't change the list items at all, so I've added some of the code here:</p>
  
  <p><strong>HTML:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div id="clouds"&gt;
      &lt;ul&gt;
          &lt;li id="home"&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;&lt;img src="buttons/home.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li id="info"&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;&lt;img src="buttons/Info.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li id="designs"&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;&lt;img src="buttons/Designs.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li id="contact"&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;&lt;img src="buttons/Contact.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>CSS:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>body{
      background-image: -webkit-gradient(
          linear,
          left bottom,
          left top,
          color-stop(0, rgb(94,132,19)),
          color-stop(0.6, rgb(124,180,34)),

      );
      background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(

  <p>I've decided to add the whole of my stylesheet because there might be an error in there somewhere that might be causing the list item margin to not work, although I can't seem to find any problems.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the answers and comments so far.</p>
  
  <p><strong>It seems changing the margin of a single item only works if the list has float: left to it, it is possible to center the list instead of floating it to the left to make it work?</strong></p>
