Paragraph

A paragraph (from the Greek paragraphos, "to write beside" or "written beside") is a self-contained unit of a discourse in writing dealing with a particular point or idea. A paragraph consists of one or more sentences. Though not required by the syntax of any language, paragraphs are usually an expected part of formal writing, used to organize longer prose.

Unordered List

• This is a list item in an unordered list
• An unordered list is a list in which the sequence of items is not important. Sometimes, an unordered list is a bulleted list. And this is a long list item in an unordered list that can wrap onto a new line.
• Lists can be nested inside of each other
  • This is a nested list item
  • This is another nested list item in an unordered list
• This is the last list item

Definition List

Definition List

A number of connected items or names written or printed consecutively, typically one below the other.

This is a term.

This is the definition of that term, which both live in a dl.

And another term.

And it gets a definition too, which is this line.

Vocabulary

I’m always been a proponent for establishing a useful dictionary of specific vocabulary as it pertains to a project. This helps to ensure that everyone can be understood by everyone else. It also reduces the “awkwardness” for people who might not be familiar with particular nomenclature or naming conventions and could be shy to ask for clarification—rather it makes these definitions known right off the bat, and serves as a reference for the future.

DRY

Don’t Repeat Yourself—a principle of software development aimed at reducing repetition of all kinds.(Wikipedia)

measure

A unit of length, designated for specific values for one dimension of measurement, e.g. margin, padding, etc.

size

Also a unit of length, but denoted for specific values for two dimensions of measurement, e.g. avatars, icons, etc.

Technology

The CSS is compiled from SCSS using gulp.js and some PostCSS.

The front-end is compiled with Jekyll, source files hosted by GitHub, front-end hosted by DigitalOcean, and sits behind CloudFlare for caching, SSL, and as a CDN.
