reset or normalize

Which do you use?

Hi, I just wanted to know what people use to standardize there layouts. I have used resets before(eric myers, yahoo rest). The only problem I have with it is that I have to style everything from scratch and I have to remember or find what the default style was. I can definitely see the advantages of using normalize.css.

I've never seen normalise.css, do you have a link?

I always use normalize. And by always I mean I just started doing it a couple weeks ago when another thread like this popped up somewhere. CSS reset essentially removes styles completely from your page, whereas normalize attempts to make styles consistant across browsers while keeping them semantic (ie bold is still bold, h1s are still larger than h3s, etc).

Normalize for the win. I'm not sure why you would use both.
