When you add text to a webpage—a <p> element, for example—there is a default size at which your browser will display it. For most browsers, that size is about 16px, which is short for 16 pixels. If you want your text to be bigger or smaller, though, you can use the CSS font-size declaration to set the size to whatever you want.
