Burning Ones

w00t!

OK, bit of a corny intro but hey, what can I say? I am a nerd and I’ve always been a nerd, and I’ve learned to accept it ;)

So, that being said, I have successfully converted the site from a layout based in good ol’ pixels to one of sleek and sexy ems and exs. For those of you who don’t know the difference, an Em is the point size of whatever font you’re using (i.e. a 16pt font yields a 16pt Em value), and an Ex is the height of an “x” character in the given font that you are using. Using Ems and Exs when laying out a site yields a site that looks good at most monitor resolutions as the site should morph with the font size that the person is using (i.e. much larger fonts on much higher resolution monitors)

Good fun, huh!
