Yes, that is what I was thinking of...

I ended up with:

table.blog div {
    margin: 2em 0 0 0 ;
    width: 100%
    border: 2px solid #ff0;
}

which is close, but I see some other areas get some "blank space" I wasn't expecting...

aha:

but THIS div ALSO got extra spacing, which I wasn't expecting [especially as it is a div in a "contentpaneopen" table, not a "blog" table]

--some-- extra spacing now appears, however the "border" attribute isn't showing up at all
