Thanks for the compliments. Yea, it was [that] site (I started it in March 2008!), and the intricate CSS going on, that made ‘CSS organisation’ big with me.

All the best, will speak soon no doubt. I’m keeping Saturdays free for blogging, now I’m single again :]

Yes CSS organisation can be a trade off between keeping things neatly organised and having only a handful of HTTP requests to get the CSS. When working on highly trafficked websites I think it is useful to optimise this by having either a build script or a server side script that combines your nicely encapsulated CSS files into a single CSS file to reduce the number of HTTP requests – as opening a new request actually has more overhead than you’d think.

On a separate note, I just took a look at your site – loving the new design, especially your info bubbles and some of the hidden bits/easter eggs.

CSS organisation has been big with me over the past few months. Take a look at this (http://tinyurl.com/cekzv5). I’ve found, working on top of Andy Budd’s suggestion of splitting your CSS into categories, that using indentation, rather like writing XHTML, is very helpful too.

@importing CSS is extremely useful, but I find having CSS in separate files is too long, and, rather like pulling in a lot of JS files, it’s slower.

Hope that’s useful.

PS. That first link is going down soon, as it’s at a beta location ATM, so apologies if it doesn’t work when you read this. It’ll be live for the next week I would think anyway :]
