Typography

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!
