Normalize CSS

Hello. I am curious about normalize css, whether there are different types you should use in different instances, or whether it's a one-size-fits-all scenario.

Thanks!

Pretty much one size fits all, it smooths out all of the browser inconsistency. I'd just pull a fresh copy every new project, and update it every so often on older projects, as it should change as browsers update to reflect what is necessary to change.

I use it on every project, every time.

Thanks, Kevin. Downloading a new one for each project is great advice.

Thanks!

No worries! Just be aware, sometimes frameworks (like bootstrap) will include normalize in them already.
