Normalize.css is a small CSS file that provides better cross-browser consistency in the default styling of HTML elements. It can be used on sites of any size. And helps to "normalize" things to have an equal starting point in all browsers.
Happy coding,

Treehouse TeacherDifferent browsers have their own "initial" way of interpreting HTML. From it's website:
Normalize makes browsers render all elements more consistently and in line with modern standards. It precisely targets only the styles that need normalizing.
In a nutshell it helps to make your site look the same in Chrome as it does in Firefox, Safari etc.

Thanks for the link, I've been using my own silly version of normalize concepts, but I just melted it together with the one you posted, its now perfect haha. By the way, Ken's site might be the best example I've seen where gradients and flat design mix together. So here's my 2nd thank you for providing some design inspiration as well : )
Maybe you can brighten up my day even more, take a look if you get a chance: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/opinion-best-way-to-setup-immovable-video-with-an-image-behind-it-but-keep-it-responsive
