Treehouse staff needed here please, margin-bottom and font-size are two seperate items.

margin-bottom and font-size are two seperate items

h2 { font-size: 3.3125em; /* 53px/16px / font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5em; / 26px */ } so why in the video is he trying to use these together. What on earth does margin bottom have to do with font size? I think there should be a video just on these problems in depth with alot of examples.

I'm asking for treehouse staff please.

1em by default is 16px. em is just a scalable unit used instead of pixels. 2em is 32px, .5em is 8px. So it's margin-bottom: 8px;

Thank you Blake Larson for your advice however my original post is from CSS Basics, The Box Model, Margins video the the code is exact from the teacher (his own workings). This is why i need a treehouse staff to answer. I have requested help from support staff also.

So it's not as much a question as it is a course suggestion?
