Summary 5

Topic 1- Basics to Layout

Fixed-width allows for your layouts to not change size. This is a popular layout. Fluid layouts change as the user adjusts their screen. Padding and whitespace can be added to accomodate different screen sizes. Elastic layouts are the same as fluid layouts, except all elements adjust size as screen size is adjusted.

Topic 2- Height and Width

When it comes to setting the height of elements, it is reccomended to not set a fixed height. By not placing a fixed height for your element, it allows for as much content as you want to be placed in your element. Set the width of the columns, not the content within them.

Topic 3- Spacing

In addition to customizing font, you can also customize spacing. Letter spacing can be adjusted with {letter-spacing: 2em }; You can edjusst the spacing using em's. The same command can be used for word-spacing as well.
