7,027 PointsIn our callout class some values like width have px. Should we be using something like rem?
.callout{ display: block; width:250px; padding: .25rem 1rem; border-radius: 20px/10px; margin: 1rem auto; box-shadow: 1px 2px 3px rgba(0,10,30,.5); background-color: #cc4e13; color: white; text-align: center; font-size 1.25rem; }

231,110 PointsWhen you want something to (always) be a specific size, use px. Also, while rem (and em) can be used for dimensions, they are typically only used on text, since they are relative to an ancestor element's text size.
