"What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children - not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women - not merely peace in our time but peace for all time." -- JFK

No, no, no! Never "justify" text in html. Even in your blog. Repeat after me: "I will not type 'align=justify'. I will not type 'align=justify'."

You see justified text in books. In books, they hyphenate words. Web browsers don't hyphenate (yet).

The most important thing about text is reading it. The way to make text easy to read, is keep the spaces between words even, and put "enough" space between lines.

In html, you can't do much about the space between words and letters, but you can easily add space between lines:

<div style="line-height: 1.5">

all your precious words here....

</div>

Play with the line-height, but don't justify!
