White space sounds like a design issue. So why should you, dear web writer, care? Because words matter.
Imagine a statue. An aged bronze sculpture of a young girl, possibly eight years old, in a long dress.
She stands about 50 inches … roughly four feet tall.
Her head is cocked to the left, a pensive, sad look on her face. Both elbows are pinned to her side and her forearms stretch upward, her palms open to the sky, a bowl in each hand.
As if she is feeding the birds. You probably recognize this statue.
