Howdy - Sorry if this seems silly to ask, but is it common to have a .css page similar to the one used here for all pages? Are there a variety of .css pages used with different names, or is there a general baseline generally used by all? I appreciate it =) (PS: Dabbled in basic coding for 10+ years but never pursued it, even though I could sit and work on code for 10-12+ hours). Very exciting to finally begin learning.
PS: I am referring to specifically the normalize.css page only.

If I understand your question correctly, you're asking if other sites would use normalize.css?
It is definitely used outside of treehouse.
At the bottom of this page you can see a list of some websites that use it: http://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/
Now not everybody is going to use normalize.css but I think it's gotten pretty popular.

I appreciate your response! Yes, I was curious if normalize.css was something treehouse wrote up & created to use or if this is a standard across many websites and was created outside of treehouse. Curious because if its something created outside of treehouse, then it would be okay if I used the code on my own personal sites? If treehouse created itself and outside of this site it is not used, that would be a different story.
From what you linked, it seems many use this file exactly as it is - I appreciate it =)

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsYes, if you look at the bottom of that page you'll see that it's a project by " Nicolas Gallagher, co-created with Jonathan Neal."
Also, if you click on the github link you'll be able to read the license for it. It's free to use and modify.
If you're ever in doubt about using someone's code then you can always check the license.

Really appreciate the positive & informative feedback.
