Hello again,

Done. I have made line-height to 1.4 and I believe it’s a nice value since
1(e.g) is too hard for reading proposes.
I've also put the font-size: 100% but, here, I don't understand why. :s

If we will use, for example, .10em to downsize a text and 3em to upsize, or
we will use 50% to downsize or 200% do upsize, why do we need the establish
a default value of 100% on the top of our css files? 
I mean, I believe we state a value on the top of our css file for two main
reasons: "reset browser default values, and make them the startup point for
all other dimensions that will be relatives to this top declared values, (is
this correct?). 
However, I do understand this approach in pixel point of view, but I don't
understand this approach in % point of view. I mean, if we state on the top
of our browser: "Dear Browser, please take in consideration that 5px is now
your default dimensions for text". Then, when we will declare later on, a
<p> tag with a text size of 50%, the browser should know that he/she needs
to present a 2.5px text. 
But if we declare 100% at the top, what does the browser know about the
relative values?




I hope this question is somehow understandable. :s

Cordially,
Márcio
