  • Changed a lot of CSS units to em now that I know what that means. Em is related to the font size of the parent container: 1em is the font size, 2em is twice the font size, etc. If there's no parent, then 1em is the browser's set font size. This means that if someone raises the font size in their browser, this website will now respect that size increase.
