			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my websites, I usually use a single css file for all css code in the site. Today I though more is it correct to be done instead of adding multiple, but smaller css files, here&#8217;s what I found:</p>
<p>1. When you have multiple css files, when a page is loading there&#8217;ll be multiple HTTP requests (for every css file), so it will slow down the loading of the web page.</p>
<p>2. If you have a single huge css file it&#8217;s hard to find something and make changes in the code.</p>
<p>I think the best solution is:</p>
<p>1. I have a single css file with many comments</p>
<div style="float: left; margin-right: 5px;"><!--adsense--></div>
<p>2. Before uploading the css file to the server, I remove the comments and all unnecessary code from the file using <a href="http://www.devtheweb.net/tools/reduce-code-size.aspx" target="_blank">my reduce code size tool</a> and into the server, I upload the optimized css file.</p>
<p>In this way, I have a file that allows me to make changes easily and in the same time the loading speed of my site is fast, because there&#8217;s only one HTTP request for the css.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>1. Repetition of same code</strong></p>
<p>border-top:1px solid #f00;<br />
border-right:1px solid #f00;<br />
border-bottom:1px solid #f00;<br />
border-left:1px solid #f00;</p>
<p>Each border is the same! So, it can be replace with:</p>
<p>border:1px solid #f00;</p>
<p><strong>2. Duplicate Color Codes</strong></p>
<p>color:#aabbcc;</p>
<p>Write the code like this instead:</p>
<p>color:#abc;</p>
<p><strong>3. Not applying more than 1 class at a time</strong></p>
<p>.classA {background-color:#f00; }</p>
<p>.classB {color:#000;}</p>
<p>.classAandB {background-color:#f00; color:#000;}</p>
<p>&lt;div class=&#8221;classAandB&#8221;&gt;&#8230;&lt;/div&gt;</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t need .classAandB, we can write:</p>
<p>&lt;div class=&#8221;classA classB&#8221;&gt;&#8230;&lt;/div&gt;</p>
<p><strong>4. Ignoring of selectors<br />
</strong><br />
.footerlink {&#8230;}</p>
<p>write the code like this instead:</p>
<p>#footer a {}</p>
<p><strong>5. Not cascading the styles</strong></p>
<p>body {color:&#8221;#ff0;}</p>
<p>h2 {color:#ff0;  font-weight:bold;}</p>
<p>This would be better:</p>
<p>body {color:#ff0;}</p>
<p>h2 {text-decoration:underline;}</p>
<p><strong>6. Adding &#8216;px&#8217; for zero values</strong></p>
<p>padding:0px 5px 0px 0px;</p>
<p>It can be written instead like this:</p>
<p>padding:0 5px 0 0;</p>
<p><strong>7. Not Grouping Identical Styles</strong></p>
<p>h1 {font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;}</p>
<p>h1 {font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;}</p>
<p>h3 {font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;}</p>
<p>p {font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;}<br />
It can be written instead like this:</p>
<p>h1, h2, h3, p {font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;}</p>
<p><strong>8. Not using Firebug</strong></p>
<p>Firebug allows you to inspect the CSS element and make your changes;  Firebug will automatically reflect your changes in real time, helping you to judge immediately if the changes you made to the code are correct.</p>
<p>If they are correct, you can then save the correct CSS entry to the original file. This makes the editing process fast and easy.</p>
