3,107 PointsShould we avoid from using px ?
pixels are absolute values so I think that it is not good choice for responsive design. Depend on this, my question is should we avoid from using pixels length or in which situation should we use it ?
Thanks !

Treehouse Guest TeacherRelative units such as percentages or ems, rems, etc. are always better to use as they are not fixed values. Pixels can be used but you will be causing a lot more work. Take this codepen for example. http://codepen.io/davidicus/pen/LEWReB . I am able to scale these icons by changing one font-size because I have used relative units. If I had used pixels I would have to adjust each and every pixel value for each break point.

6,759 PointsI agree with Blake, your project is amazing. Some of the code I can follow, some not so much. Did you use SASS on this project? How long did it take you to learn how to do something like that.
