Bare-minimum mini website project 3: with only HTML & CSS

A single-page CV is developed for the legendary tech entrepreneur Elon Musk.


A brief note on CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) Units

Two types in general;

  • Relative: EM, REM, VH, VW, % and more

  • Absolute: PX, PT, CM, IN, MM

Pixels: CSS Pixels are not the same as physical pixels on the screen. In General, avoid for font sizes, and use px for small details like borders and shadows.

Percentage unit: Is relative to its parent. Useful for defining layouts and widths.

REM – Root EMS relative to the root HTML element's font size (i.e. browser's default settings).

Eg. If the root font size is 20px, 1rem = 20px, 2rem = 40px, etc.

EM – EMs are relative to parent size.

For eg. With font size, 1 em = font size of the parent, 2 em = twice, etc, while with other properties, 1 em equals the computed font size of the element itself.

REM/Em are good choice for font sizes and padding or margin.

Vh & Vw – Take about viewport height and width. Generally used for larger layouts and concerns.

Float is used for getting text around an image.

                        After Pennsylvania, Musk began his Ph.D. in applied physics and material sciences at Stanford. 
                        But the experience didn’t last long, because he dropped out two days after to launch his entrepreneurial career.

                        Musk: The CEO of Paypal 
                    </p>
                    <p class="blog-text">
                        In 1999, Elon Musk used the 22 million from Zip2 to co-found an online banking company, X.com. A year later, X.com merged with Confinity, the company behind PayPal. 
                        Elon became CEO of Paypal as well as the largest single shareholder of the organization with 11.5% of all shares.

                        How he was treated at Paypal set Musk on a different path. His motivation for success changed. What 
                        would inspire him from now on was doing purposeful work that had a positive change in the world. He wanted to wake up in the morning and be glad to be a part of humanity.
