CSS Tips from Wired.com

1.Don’t put technology ahead of design. Begin the design process knowing you’ll be using CSS to build what you created. But establish where you want the design to go first. Then break the design down into logical components, using CSS to reassemble it like a puzzle. Starting with CSS before having at least a rough design direction will only frustrate you later.

2.Keep your style sheets organized. Group CSS rules into logical sections that make sense to you or your team. Use comments liberally to identify groups of rules and what they do. Not only will this help other team members decipher your style sheets, it will help you remember what you did when returning to the same CSS several months later.

3. Learn the concepts behind the techniques. Study existing CSS examples and designs. More sites are redesigning with CSS every week, and lots of books, articles, and tutorials are readily available. Figure out why the techniques they use work. What are they doing? Why is it beneficial to do it this way? The real power of CSS lies in the ability to understand how and why certain techniques work, not in memorizing an exact sequence of steps or a delicate combination of rules. With a better understanding of the concepts, you’ll be able to better reapply them to solve other design challenges.
