    CSS margins are used all the time, but people don't realize how creative you can get with some clever uses of margin: auto. Used in the right places, you can do all sorts of cool things and make more complicated layouts with simple HTML.

    When I started with css 100 years ago, I always wondered why you can center horizontally using margin auto, but not vertically. I love this vertical margin auto that has been made useful at last. This trick is so nifty when you want to align top/bottom some common elements within cards (such as link "Read more")

    Kevin, I’m so glad I found your channel! My CSS knowledge was pretty extensive… in 2010. I’ve been out of the game for a while, so I’m learning to unlearn the hacks I’d learned to overcome Internet Exploder and other limitations. CSS seems to finally be mature, though I’m happy with how much of my old learning still applies!

    Hi Kevin, I have watched many of your videos and they are always well done. I write websites in the raw code (not templates) and have done a good handful of sites. This particular video directly addresses serious headaches I run into with respect actually achieving the spacing I am looking for in my navigations or other list-options areas. I won't bore you with the details of what I have done to make it work (it is WAY too embarrassing). It is the combination of the margin usage you discuss WITH THE "nth-of-type()" selecting you are doing that enables a big reduction in BOTH the amount of CSS and the amount of HTML/Structure required. Thanks again.

    In such cases it is more flexible to use a few dummy elements (does not render anything) and to insert them on those places where space should be taken (for example class="takeSpace") with style "flex-grow: 1;".
    This approach will work as expected when new link is inserted in the middle. Also it is possible to redistribute space in more flexible way by using different flex-grow values.

    Great work! From a practical application point of view, the only suggestion I would make would be to add margin-left: auto to li:nth-last-child(2) instead of li:nth-of-type(6) because it's much more likely that a client will want to add another item to the middle 'site menu' than to the right hand 'login menu'.
    The way it's set up now, if you were to add, let say 'Shop' to that middle menu, the layout would break.
    (You'd also need to change nth-of-type(7) to nth-last-child(1) but that probably goes without saying)
