Can we/Do we edit CSS Resets?

Hello,

Is it bad practice to edit CSS Resets such as normalize.css? I've seen others do it and haven't been told that I should.

I don't see why not, but I thought I would ask anyhow.

Thank, Leon.

In my opinion (which some could disagree) I for one see no problem editing normalize.css. In fact there is a lot of fat that can be taken out. I would recommend reading this article "http://jaydenseric.com/blog/forget-normalize-or-resets-lay-your-own-css-foundation". It's interesting and gives you an idea on how to customize your own normalize.css.

Hi Travis,

Thanks for the reply. I totally agree with you, and the article linked. The main reason I asked the question because I noticed all the bloat-code.

Thanks again, Leon.
