@PublicRecordsGuy – Thanks for your comment, great this article helped you!

Text-indent for :

Thanks for commenting!

Nice article I agree with you that when it comes to styling text, we do sometimes get caught up in the headings and forget about the paragraph itself.

Good explanation and examples of what the difference CSS properties are relating to paragraphs as well.
