• with the grid turned on in this example.
• I’ve chosen a pretty standard base font size of 12 pixels, and set the line-height at 18 pixels, which gives us a nice open leading of about 150%. It’s important to think about your line-heights up front.

• :last-child pseudo class since it doesn’t require me to add any extra markup. IE6 won’t get it, but it won’t break the layout.
