Apply Indents Correctly
When using indentation for paragraph separation, indent only paragraphs after the first (the opening paragraph has nothing to separate from). Size indents to 1 to 1.5em; larger indents (2 to 3em) suit wide columns with ample margins.
Incorrect (every paragraph indented, including first):
p {
text-indent: 1.5em;
}Correct (indent only after first paragraph):
p + p {
text-indent: 1.5em;
}Use smaller indents for narrow columns; above 3em is counterproductive.
