10 Tips To A Better CSS
Some good tips from Istvan, who develops Yahoo! Stores for a living, comes 10 tips on creating clean and efficient CSS.
FTA:
In a typical workday, I deal with dozens of yahoo stores and very often I have to tweak, fix, or change CSS used by these stores. While some stores have very clean and easy to follow style sheets or CSS definitions, the vast majority of stores I’ve seen seem to include complete hack jobs, style sheets put together completely haphazardly, or as an afterthought. While working in such a store, the idea came to me to turn my gripes into a post. So the following is my list of dos and don’ts of good CSS or style design.

That’s a good list. Most experienced designers don’t follow most of these. I guess people tend to get into bad habits. It pays to produce good clean css. it helps in lots of areas.
